A must for locomotive enthusiasts and a great day out for all the family at the National Railway Museum, one of York’s top attractions.
Experience a driver’s eye view as you step on the footplate and explore the cab of the incredible Duchess of Hamilton, considered to be the jewel in the museum’s collection. Marvel at the sheer scale and splendor of this magnificent locomotive.
The ‘Driver For a Fiver’ experience offers you the opportunity to try your hand at locomotive driving as you take the controls of Matey, NRM’s beloved shunter 08 class locomotive under the guidance of the National Railway Museum’s experienced team (£5 charge applies).
Fancy a little trip on a steam train? Children and adults alike love to take a ride on the miniature steam railway with genuine, working minitaure steam locomotives.
