We are now open for the summer 2024 (five days per week including Saturdays) - see Opening Times. We close for the end of the season on Wednesday October 30th.
For our last weekend of the 2024 season, we have some steam engines arriving in the evening of Friday 25th Oct. They will be in steam and go for a run on Saturday 26th Oct and will leave on Sunday 26th. We are planning to run the Californian Stamps on Saturday 25th at 11.00 and again at 14.30. We will be running guided tours and normal entry charges will apply to see the Stamps.
We now have a contactless donation point inside the entrance to the museum, and if you would like to make a contribution, please tap the screen to support us. We receive no public funding and all our Trustees and guides are volunteers.

April 2023: Thank you for our lovely little visit today. Our guide was amazing in every way. Tailored our tour to keep our daughter content and happy and we all really enjoyed our time with you. All the volunteers took time to talk to us and interact with us and our daughter. There was lots of buttons to press that all worked something different a model or a story. And she enjoyed the dressing up and colouring in. Thank you everyone involved 🙂
