Ffarquhar Yards is a shunting yard located at Ffarquhar. There are sidings here for stone from Ffarquhar Quarry. A smaller yard in front of the station contains coal staithes, a water column and fuel tanks.
History[]
In the television series, the yards are significantly smaller than how it was in the Railway Series, with the sheds being absent. Bertie informed Thomas and Percy about Lady Hatt's birthday party here. Harold also picked up Mrs. Kyndley from here and brought her to Tidmouth Bay when James was picking up stone trucks and noticed how sad she looked.

Trivia[]
- According to the 1983 map made for the first series, a small engine shed is located here, most likely used by Thomas to rest after his journeys to Ffarquhar. It is unknown if the shed was used during filming.
