CAUTION: SHUNTING IN PROGRESS | Behind the Scenes at the National Railway Museum

- You may have heard we're making some changes at our museum. As part of our Vision 2025 project, a great many things are being overhauled, refreshed and constructed-from new exhibitions like Wonderlab (opening summer 2023) to a new roof on Station Hall and a completely new building called Central Hall.
Great Hall won't be left alone, either, and in preparation for future changes the time was right to move several locomotives inside this enormous space to get ready for Vision 2025.
However, moving Shinkansen-the only Japanese bullet train to be found outside of Japan-and several other locomotives including Eurostar was not a simple process, requiring detailed planning from our Railway Logistics Manager Ben Keegan and huge support from the Workshops and Traction team and several expert contractors.
So, grab a cuppa and enjoy this documentary taking you through the action-packed move featuring a huge array of vehicles, from steam locos to shunters powered by diesel and battery power-plus some forklift trucks thrown in for good measure.
Narrated by Amy McAllister.

I see that the museum preserves not only locomotives but also the old BR pastime of one person working, with at least another half dozen standing around watching. ;o)
But they are "supervising"
the need cardboard tasting cheese sandwiches ,lukewarm watery coffee to be authentic to the BR experience
When a normal work day for me gets turned into a documentary XD I knew they were filming, but didnt know this would turn up!
This was a great watch. These mini documentaries are what I'm here for!
It was like watching a group of people playing with the world's largest train set. Scale 1:1
The National Railway Museum is a fantastic visit, a must for any railway enthusiasts.
Fascinating video! But it does worry me that nobody looked at the rails on where it was going to go during the planning phase and that it was somehow only noticed when the train was 1m from the pit! 😂
Totally. That and not hvg the correct coupling connection. Didnt they do a physical walkthrough of all the movements?
I Really hope we get more of these sort of videos, it's always fasinating what happens Behind the scenes at the museum
Visiting some other museums, I'm looking forward to the new exposition in York! But I can't help myself: "Months of planning" just to realize the coupler can't fit and the track in the tunnel mockup is loose? I know, the video would be far less dramatic ;-)
I thought that too. I'm going to assume that for dramatic tension the videographer decided to make the planners look incompetent, and hope they they actually had planned for these these items. All they needed to do was leave out the line about months of planning!
This was a fun watch! Would love to see more like this but it is a bit strange seeing this uploaded so long after it's taken place. As noted in another comment, the museum has been as shown for many months now. Would be fun to have seen this around the time the changes were being made! Regardless, I hope there's more like this in store
Thank you very much for the very nice video.
It is a great pleasure to know that you have preserved the Shinkansen trains as carefully as the many historic trains that your country is proud of.
From the home of the Shinkansen, with heartfelt thanks and the greatest respect.
0:29 "Its not just a normal shunt".
No it's a bunch of shunts 😄
This is positively amazing, and I would love to see more of this. Keep up the amazing work!
What a neat piece of kit that battery shunter is!
I’ve been here when I went on holiday to Skipsea on the East Yorkshire coast in August 2022. It was great seeing all the trains, especially the Shinkansen train!
Months to plan that! I'm in the wrong job.
Great to see what goes on behind the scenes and see some of the exhibits again! Not easy when the locos can’t move under their own power. Nice to see all executed safely and without any damage to those precious locos, couldn’t hope for a better outcome!
I loved this behind the scenes look into the logistics and team coordination at the museum. Hope to see more uploads like this...😊🚂
I hope more of this will be filmed cuz it's fun to watch
Really interesting and loving the Battery RRV & 09 shunters being used.
Whilst I am worried of how this renovation plan may sour the overall look and feel of the museum, it was fun to see how they move everything around when no one's looking.
I can't wait to see whether or not new trains arive when the museum has more space.
Agree. Like the area with the royal trains in always had a incredible atmosphere with the vibe of an old station and the smell and dark lighting, all new and shiny and light to me will ruin the feel.
A nice, interesting behind the scenes video.
And the little battery shunter was impressive too, especially discovering something that small can shift 450 tons!
First thing I would be doing is disconnecting that damned bleeper!
There’s this fantastic video by Jaggo Hazzard where he shows all the different things in the museum at the end of the video he stumbles across the Eurostar he is shocked at seeing and closes the video after that. His reaction to seeing the Eurostar was very funny 😄 he was showing his age.
Me and my family go there regularly we enjoy it. Seen Scotsman couple times at the museum even when on the move.
Why did 737 suddenly change into a Stirling Single at 6:20?
That was a cool peek behind the scenes. Thank you!
my school took us here its safe to say that everyone really liked it!
I've always wanted to visit but never been able to
Trust me, you will love it once you get there, you'll want to visit it again like I have
Loved that :) This museum is my favourite, I recommend it to all.
Such an amazing insight, I love videos like these, like a mini documentary.
Huge props to the editor/editors 😊
hi, great video,great to see D200, fond memories when it was saved from certain death back in the early 80s
That was great! Planning to go here for the first time later this Spring and can't wait!
We need the next Curator with a Camera!
I wanna see the Curators go THROUGH the BRR-3000 and the BR Class 09.
RRV ftw! But you still can't complete a shunting job without a Gronk *somewhere* around the place.
As Bond's groundskeeper used to say... "Sometimes, the best ways, are the old ways."
My sister and I visited from Maine USA in 2019. We only had time to see the older trains and the Royal trains. It was amazing! Next time we'll have to see the modern trains. York is a beautiful city!
If you come to the UK again, put Bath and Harrogate on your wish list
If you come to the UK again, don't go to liverpool or birmingham lol
Liverpool is brilliant these days. Unlike when I was growing up there in the 60's and 70's - then it was a total dump. Amazing how they have turned the city around since then. I ran away in 1977 to live in London and eventually ended up near Harrogate and Leeds - so yes Harrogate is a good place to visit too.
Beautiful! 😍😍😍 I hope I can visit the museum. All the pieces are amazing.
What great video on the update of the museum !
Love things like this! This is great!
loved this hope you do more of these documentaries
I've visited the Museum - twice. First time many decades ago. Travelled up from London by train with my then young son on a Bank Holiday Monday only to find the museum shut - as it was a Bank Holiday! No internet back then to find these things out. We went and visited York Minster instead - got up in the Bell Tower which is not often open. Decades later my now grown son took me and his family back to the museum to knock off one of my 'bucket list' visits which has now sensibly long been open on Bank Holidays. I did wonder back then about how tricky it must be to arrange all the kit. If you are ever in York do go and visit - it has some incredible exhibits. If going by train York Station is right next to the museum.
Been visiting York railway museum in it's various forms since 1950, then as the NRM, with son's then grandsons and granddaughters. Eldest grandson is now employed there for the Science Museum Group. Lucky lad.
Wonderful to see
Unstoppable cony I will call you back 🇸🇦
great video guys!
It's well worth a visit
That was so enjoyable to watch. All the best for the future. Unfortunately I'm living in Oz and would love to see the NRM now
Really enjoyed this video
This is so cool
Great job Ben 😍
They rlly thought we wouldn’t notice them making a cheeky swap with footage of the Stirling single instead of 737 at 6:20
That little battery switcher looks pretty handy.
One day, One day hope to get over the ocean to see 3308 in person. It's a funny story how I become a fan of Eurostar.. 6th grade project I was given the order of researching and presenting the history and importance's of the Channel Tunnel (I never heard of it before hand), and that's when I heard the sounds and the beauty of the 373. Since then some 12 years later it has been a dream of come over and see not only 3308 but the rest of the rolling stock you have but see the 373 in acting, the videos which are in the hundreds I've seen over the years doesn't do Justice to standing there in person.
Class 08 is one the best locomotives ever made.
Wow.
This is awesome
enjoyed the video and who ever came up with the idea of euro star with the tunnel segment clearly had some idea to to pair them both kinda think euro star looks nicer there then were it was before
Months of planning but didn't pre-check the safety factors on that tunnel rails before whacking a Eurostar power car on it?
I like that little green hi-rail tractor, I think it's a quite nice little shunter.
"railroads" at the national *railway* museum?
The beeping is highly annoying. Ironically it's probably loud enough to injure the operator's hearing if you use it regularly, while i totally understand the beep is meant to avoid people from walking into its path.
Still, i think it should be removed - or at the very least replaced by something much quieter.
It's meant to be loud idiot
Really interesting video, thanks! As an aside what will become of 31018? Would be nice to see that loco running again.
Really looking for more of these. Also, hope this modernization plan doesn't involve the procurement of some shoddy diesels 😉
A 142. With an interpretation display and a button for children to press for the sound of screeching brakes. And a notice of apology for its emissions throughout its lifetime, with offers of support and counselling for those who identify as affected.
👍🏾😎 Greetings from 🇩🇪
This would be an amazing place to work.
Just out of interest, why is the Q1, numbered 'C1' uncoupled from its tender which is sitting outside?
They’re redeveloping the whole museum, which means shifting locos out of the way.
think its tender needs some form of work to it
Idk why it is, probably is the first one made and probably how the original railroad before nationalization numbered things. But it's not that at all, according to the other replies it's because the tender needs work and they're modernizing the museum.
She was already displayed in the great hall with no tender when I saw her last summer.
The stark difference on the class 08 shunter and that battery shunter with its excessive constant beeping. health and safety has gone mad with these warning sounds on vehicles, where i can hear the bin lorry reverse 3 roads away on bin day.
We don't need a beep every second at 1500000000db. Christ.
And given the "broadband" type reversing beepers have existed for more than a decade, it's surprising the horrible ear piercing beepers still get installed on anything.
I would have gone and cut some under hood wires 😂 How can one stay focused on anything while having to listen this ear-piercing noise pollution!?!
@@tin2001 they put them on those sissor lifts too, thing moves at 1mph with flashing lights and beeps the same as that yoke.
beautiful train
I went here I loved it your amazing York railway Mueseum
cool
I really like trains make more shunt videos please
7:45 but there’s a problem C l O N K
Mole hill to mountain springs to mind
Fascinating and enlightening - I love this sort of content from NRM 👍 However, regarding the repositioning of the Eurostar (and please bear in mind I haven't visited for a while), why didn't you build the segment of tunnel around the locomotive in the first place 😊
There used to be a different Eurostar exhibition in the tunnel section, which played a video, but that was removed a while back
@@NatRailwayMuseum awesome thanks! See you in the summer.
This is truly a real-life puzzle.
On a different note from the Eurostar but still on trains it's a pity that the NRM wasn't able to secure one of the old Virgin Trains, either a Pendolino or Super Voyager.
Having said that they are still very much in use, and I don't suppose the relative train companies who have inherited them will be looking to let them go anytime soon.
In addition to that they would likely have to build an extension onto the current NRM building in order to house extra trains and that ain't gonna happen.
I needed to know why they don’t dig a tunnel and do an extension for the main line Train so that they can extend the unused abandoned underground train stations. Why couldn’t they use the part D78 Stock train doors on the sides and also restructure the front face of the A60 and A62 stock and that includes the class 313, class 314 and class 315 remix and make them all together and also redesign them an overhead line and also make them into Five cars per units and also having three Disabled Toilets on those Five cars per units A60 and A62 stock trains and also convert the A60 and A62 stock trains into a Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Engines and also put the Loud 7-Speed Voith Gearboxes even Loud 8-Speed Leyland Hydra cyclic Gearboxes in the A60 and A62 stock, class 313, class 314, and class 315 and also modernise the A60 and A62 stock and make it into an 11 car per unit so it could have fewer doors, more tables, computers and mobile phone chargers. A Stock Trains and also having 8 Disabled Toilets on those A stock trains. why couldn’t we refurbish and modernise the Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel and make it more Larger and extend it to the bank station, making it into a Triple-Track Railway Line so those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden to convert the waterloo and city line Triple-Track Railway tunnel into a High-Speed Railway lines? The Third Euro tunnel Triple-Track Railway line to make it 11 times better for passengers so they could go from A to B. Then put the modernised 11 car per unit A Stock and put them on a bigger modernised Waterloo and city line Triple-Track train tunnel so it could go to bank station to those Five countries such as Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. The modernised refurbished 11 cars per unit A stock could be a High Speed The Third Triple-Track Euro Tunnel Train So it is promising and 47 times a lot more possible to do this kind of project if that will be OK for London Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden. oh by the way, could they also tunnel the Triple-Track Railway Line so it will stop from Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex so that the Passengers will go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland and Sweden and also extend the Triple-Track Railway Line from the Bank to Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Essex Stations so that more people from there could go to Australia, Germany, Italy, Poland And Sweden more Easily. Why couldn't they extend the Piccadilly Line and also build brand-new underground train stations so it could go even further right up to Clapton, Wood Street can they also make another brand new underground train station in Chingford and could they extend the Piccadilly Line and the DLR right up to Chingford? All of the classes 150, 155, 154, 117, 114, 105, and 106, will be replaced by all of the Scania N112, Volvo B10M, Gardner 6LXB, Gardner 6LXC and Gardner 8LXB Diesel Five carriages three disabled toilets are air conditioning trains including Highams Park for extended roots which is the Piccadilly line and the DLR trains. Could you also convert all of the 1973 stock trains into an air-conditioned maximum speed 78 km/hours (48 MPH) re-refurbished and make it into a 8 cars per unit if that will be alright, and also extend all of the Piccadilly train stations to make more space for all of the extended 8 car per unit 1973 stock air condition trains and can you also build another Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive Companies and can they order Every 37 Octagon and Every 17 Hexagon shape LNER diagram unique small no.13 and unique small no.11 Boilers from those Countries such as Greece, Italy, Poland, and Sweden, can they make Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive speeds by up to 142MPH so you can try and test it on the Original Mainline so it will be much more safer for the Passengers to enjoy the 142MPH speed Limit only for HS2 and Channel Tunnel mainline services, if they needed 16 Carriages Per units, can they use those class 55’s, class 44’s, class 40’s and class 43HST Diesel Locomotive’s right at the Back of those 18 Carriages Per Units so they can take over at the Back to let those Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s have a rest for those interesting Journeys Please!!!!!!!, oh can you make all of those Coal Boxes’s 17 Tonnes for all of those 142MPH Mayflower and Tornado Steam Locomotive’s so the Companies will Understand us PASSENGER’S!! so please make sure that the Builders can do as they are told!!!! And please do something about these very very important Professional ideas Please? Prime Minister of England, Prime Minister of Australia, Prime Minister of Sweden, Prime Minister of Germany, Prime Minister of Italy, Prime Minister of Poland and that Includes the Mayor of London.
Amazing how advanced looking the Shinkansen is considering that they were designed back in the mid 1960’s 😮
As it should be for the space race era :P
It felt a little bit wrong to see these Eurostar and O-series greyhounds moving at a snail's pace under battery power!
What a fantastic documentary to watch I found it very interesting to watch
I’m coming here next Sunday on my 35th Birthday.
Gloooosy. 2 gooood
The d class aka edward in my au MOVED . How cool I have ate my food with that engine once
Will the be an update on station hall?
remember when you got the bullet train and no one measured the width of the body and part of the car park had to be demolished to get the bullet train in?
Will you guys be doing more of this?
20 minute job spread over a full day due to health and safety. 😂
Attenborough: And here we see the eurostar north pole, enticed by the section of the tunnel, migrates to its natural habitat
Its amazing that Tweety can pull 3 class 40s cuz a class 40 is 135 tones and 135 x 3 = 405 and Tweety can tow 450 tones
Torque is a great tool
Since when have we had Railroads in the UK? Railways is what we have, plus I it was patronising in the way way it was put over!
Wanted to visit this but the tracks to York from London were under maintainence. How ironic when attempting to visit the rail museum in the country that invented the railway!
So 'rush hour' board game but with trains 🙂 Interesting
Ive got a model Eurostar train now
IE switching or switcher. (the green thing would be called a "hi-rail" in the usa)
You guys ever gonna bring 58015 to the museum??
A very good video. Getting an idea of how things are done behind the scenes. I'd like to know when this was done?
There's obviously no members of the public present. So they had to shut down for a day or so. Forgive me if im wrong but I thought the NRM was open all year round.
You'd be pretty pissed if you visited the museum after a long travel and it was shut! lol.
The museum is currently closed on a Monday and Tuesday (and has been since Covid!), so it was done then. So didn't have to shut it additionally!
@@joshuachapman4136 - Ahh, I see. Thankyou for educating me 😁
Months of planning and so many things overlooked.
Interesting watch. Why are most shunts pulled yet the last manoeuvre was a push?
Excellent video
Why did they use the shunter to move the engine and then the battery shunter to push the carriage up to it. Why not just use the shunter to pull both at once?
Where did the d class go ? And why is the Q1 tender outside
There original display Eurostar mock-up and Channel Tunnel mock-up in National Railway Museum
When I was younger, I thought you had to cold start each steam engine and diesel locomotive in order to re arrange them 😅
