The Coalyard Miniature Railway is a 7¼" gauge passenger carrying railway running parallel to the SVRSevern Valley Railway main line at Kidderminster Station for approximately 500 yards from the station itself to the adjacent car park. It operates on most weekends when the SVRSevern Valley Railway is open.

Originally built in 1988 to dual 5" & 3½" gauge, it was relaid to 7¼" gauge in 1990. The railway takes its name from the coal yard which operated alongside Kidderminster Station until 2004.
