Maud Railway Museum is holding an open weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
It will be open on both days from 10am to 4pm.
The passenger carrying miniature railway will be operational alongside the former Fraserburgh line platform assuming no adverse weather.
Keith Jones from the museum said: "There are various displays both of photographs and artefacts depicting the railways of Buchan, and a couple of railway vehicles including a prison carriage from the Peterhead Harbour of Refuge line used to carry convicts to work at Stirlinghill Quarries.
"Also of interest is a display covering the World War 1 airship base at Lenabo near Longside.
"The museum is looking for material for future displays and is in particular looking for photographs of livestock and agricultural produce and machinery being loaded and unloaded at Maud Station and indeed other stations in Buchan.
"We have lots of photos of trains and railway buildings in Buchan but not many showing the direct link between farming and rail transport that lasted until the 1960s."
