GGRA miniature railway in the east of the Isle of Man has been awarded more than £16,000 to make track improvements.
The Manx Lottery Trust grant is for maintenance and safety works to help future-proof the service.
The work is part of wider refurbishment plans for the volunteer-run attraction, which also include improved paving and a new ticket office and shop.
Although much of the refurbishment had originally been planned to take place earlier this year, Covid-19 lockdown restrictions delayed some of the works.
GGRThe 0.6 miles (1km) railway officially opened in 1896, but fell into decline and stopped running completely in the 1960s, before being reopened by volunteers in 1986.
Volunteer Alex Brindley said the refurbishment work was being carried out to mark “a truly special milestone” for the railway.
The funding had paid for new sleepers made from recycled plastic, which would have a “significantly” longer lifespan than the previous sleepers, he added.
