The Knebworth Park and Winter Green Railway was a narrow gauge railway built in the grounds of Knebworth House in 1972 as a tourist attraction.

The railway was built by Pleasurerail Ltd. a private company set up to build and operate private tourist railways. Pleasurerail built the Great Whipsnade Railway and in 1972 they started construction on a RailGauge|23.5 gauge railway in the grounds of Knewbworth House near Stevenage. The initial line was about a mile in length, running from a station and locomotive shed west of the main house down to a junction where a balloon loop returned trains to their starting point.

During its existence the line hosted a number of steam and diesel locomotives. The line continued to run until 1990 when it was lifted and the remaining stock transferred to other lines

Locomotives

These are the locomotives that stayed at Knebworth for extended periods. Not all ran there at the same time and the exact dates when they were present are not always known.
