A free town centre visitor centre based around the famous old Axminster to Lyme Regis Railway, which ran for 62 years until 1965. The 'Depot' opens to a timetable twice a week, but volunteers are often there at other times and a knock on the door will usually gain you entry.
 
'For the Love of a Railway' is a community enterprise established by volunteers as a much needed new attraction for Axminster's town centre. Some of the team are model railway lovers while others contribute skills in crafts, engineering, electronics, woodworking, design and promotion. There is even a former fireman who worked on the old steam trains in the 1950s. 
 
The project is being hailed as an 'extraordinary' contribution to Axminster's economy and a valuable new social asset. The group has plans to run events, set up a model railway club and  properly record the many golden memories that are resurfacing of a line that has a special place in local history.
