Harlington Locomotive Society
The Harlington Locomotive Society, also informally known as the Harlington Miniature Railway is a trestle railway about half a mile in length through an old orchard in the village of Harlington, London Borough of Hillingdon, Greater London.
==Description==
It is set in an orchard, the club has a large circuit of track of both 5" & 3 1/2" gauge track incorporating a small tunnel, a clubhouse with kitchen and workshop, powered steaming bays and a brick built station & signal box. Parking for visitors and disabled access and facilities are available. It has some resemblance to the Parkreisen of the BRD and the Pionerbahn of the DDR, though the facility is for the use of adult hobbyists and does not have the didactic purpose of training potential future railway employees.
Service facilities are located in the centre of the western loop of the track. Locomotives are steamed there and then switched into the running line on a rotatable section of track. A facility for checking boiler pressure performance is located here.
As early as the 1950s, the railway incorporated a treadle operated signalling system to regulate the traffic. The weight of the wheels operated the treadles, which caused the signal behind to change to red and being cleared to green at the next treadle along the line.
