A visit to the National Railway Museum, York, UK

The museum tells the story of rail transport in Britain and its impact on society. It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles such as Mallard, Stirling Single, Duchess of Hamilton and a Japanese bullet train. In addition, the National Railway Museum holds a diverse collection of other objects, from a household recipe book used in George Stephenson's house to film showing a "never-stop railway" developed for the British Empire Exhibition.

Thanks for uploading photos of the NRM when it was still relatively good. Since this was recorded, Aerolite, LMS 2500 and L&YR 1008 (all next to each other) have been cast out and sent to other locations. The museum is just an empty shell of its former self. Most of the old locos have left, and it’s much more gloomy than it once was. Good for you if you enjoyed it.

I'm afraid you're right. I remember the museum years ago when it was so special. Today it is a shadow of its former self. Hopefully after all the restorations etc are out of the way things will improve again, but I am not holding my breath.
