Skills & Services

Founded by Alan Keef and now celebrating our 50th anniversary, we are based in rural Herefordshire and remain a family-owned and run enterprise with a great personal, as well as professional, passion for narrow gauge railways. Today, the business is run by Patrick Keef as Managing Director and Alan’s daughter, Alice Basey, as Financial Director and General Manager. We employ a highly skilled and knowledgeable team of engineers, craftsmen and trackwork-gangs who typically share the family’s narrow gauge railway passion, or have come to love it since joining the company!
