Our Story...

In 2002 Steve and Lisa took one look at Coalport Station in the heart of the Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire. They made the decision to be the station masters there and then. Three months later they gave up their business life in London to become the proud owners or The Fat and Thin Controllers!

Well, who wouldn’t want to own a disused country railway station; with two platforms, a waiting room and 3 acres of land, overlooking a picturesque river setting nestled within the World Heritage site of the Ironbridge Gorge.

Their previous working lives had been involved with interior design of Aircraft, Autos, railways, as well as interior and clothing design for the hotel and hospitality industries. Their experience came to the fore when designing the interiors of the carriages. However designing and actually fitting are two different things, and even with some of the best plans put forward the first carriage was 6 months late and twice over budget! They thought they had learned a huge amount, and the second carriage was this time 12 months late and 2Β½ times over budget..............some people never learn!
