Carriage Shed
To keep the railway's collection of Victorian and Edwardian carraiges to be kept undercover, away from the effects of weather and vandals, a rolling stock storage and display building is planned to be built at Havenstreet. The plan is a four-road shed, with each road capable of storing four bogie coaches or their equivalent, amounting to a total size of 75 by 25 metres . By December 2008, £71,000 had been raised by the railway, and as of May 2012, the railway was awaiting information to see if a grant application from the Heritage Lottery towards the £815,000 cost was successful.
