That was just the Great Hall area, too. On Wednesday I will being going in the New Hall, showing you some very different vehicles, as well as trains. The café is a little pricey, but when you factor in that it's free admission, then it's not too bad. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Been to NRM quite a few times. And liked the way the exibits were arranged so you could stand back and get a good look at them. From what you've shown here they seem to be very tightly grouped almost cheek by jowel. I have also spotted one or two that were at NRM when I was there, e.g. the Coronation Scot coach and the Dandy car.
@brianhepke7182 It's great to see the sheer size of them rather than standing on a train platform as they go by. York and Shildon are certainly places I could visit multiple times.
@martinanderson4721 I was going from information on the boards, and it states 1955. Saying that, I was in the New Hall, and it states one loco was 1948, but online states built between 1951-52.

Great stuff! I agree, the saloons beat a Caledonian sleeper... imagine having a bedroom like that on a train! My loyalties will always lie with the steam locos but even I have to admit that the Deltic is pretty smart. I like the dandy wagon - cool to be able to sit on the benches on the side. How times have changed.. Royal Mail used to build amazing carriages but now don't use rail mail! (Or massively scaled back the use of trains) So the Rocket replica is used for passenger trips now, but is the one inside the actual Rocket? Or is that a replica as well?
@BecsterDotCom I'm never sure when it comes to the original Rocket, as I know Shildon and York swap things around, and I've seen it at York as well as Shildon. There is a replica in Shildon, as well as the one that gives passenger rides. I was speaking with a gentleman that helped build the replica that is in Locomotion, Shildon. I'm a fan of steam locomotives, but I do like the Deltic.
Went to Shilden a few years ago, thought it was great, especially as it was free unless you wish to leave a donation. Enjoyed it so much I’ve been looking forward to going to York Railway Museum, made the trip this week. Shilden is better, York is still donations based and they have Mallard and the Bullet Train, but thought Shilden was a nicer place with more interesting exhibits. loved the Deltic and Winston’s funeral train.
@philipmyatt1458 The Deltic looks great, as does the Winston Churchill train. I have to agree that the Shildon museum is the better of the two, although I like York's North Shed.
@richardfrost7334 I'm just going off information boards and from what people are telling me. I'm learning as I'm going, as I'm new to this type of content.
PS Napier - C16 Scottish Mathematician who apparently invented logarithms and the decimal point. So presumably the Napier Diesel Engine is linked to him and Napier Uni in Edinburgh. ?
Wow! The fact that it's free blew my mind. Thanks for showing us round!

I remember that blue Deltic when I was a kid when it was in the science museum London
@@glenharrison987 It was one of my favourites at Shildon.
It was on trials from Newton le Willows towards Liverpool mid 60s. Wonderful sight.
Newton le Willows being the English Electric works
The Deltic a bit later than 1955 ? I remember seeing on Trial runs heading to Liverpool 62/63.
Shildon the Railway Town ? What do they say to that in Darlington ??

When you comment on railway rolling stock, you need to know the difference between a locomotive and a train and the different types of rolling stock.

No you don't. You need to be fluent interested and interesting. You can ignore any readers of the Rivets Counters Weekly

My favourite loco in the video would be Class 40 D200

Looks too tightly packed together.what a shame
There is a fair amount in there, but the only way to showcase it all really.
