National Railway Museum (NRM)
Roberts Yorkshire Photos now gives you Englands National Railway Museum (NRM)
In 1975 the National Railway Museum was opened at Leeman Road in York.
The huge former steam locomotive depot, only 700 metres from York Minster was an ideal site for a National Railway Museum and, following its conversion and opening as the very first national museum outside London, the museum was an immediate success with the public.
The collection, including over 100 locomotives and nearly 200 other items of rolling stock, tells the railway story from the early 19th century to the present day.
If you are a keen railway buff and wish to visit I would strongly suggest at least a full day would just about cover the exhibits. Two days would be better. The good news is It`s free entrance.! and it`s within a very easy few minutes walking distance of York Railway station..
The world famous Flying Scotsman steam engine has just completed a major refit at the Museum workshop and will shortly be returning to hauling trains again.
Enjoy a few of my pictures from the NRM
