Description
Located in the pleasant countryside of the ancient county of Rutland, the Museum is dedicated to telling the story of railways in industry, especially local ironstone quarrying. It goes back to the days before mass road transport when most freight was carried by rail and factories, works and quarries had their own railway systems. The museum's open air steam centre hosts a large collection of steam and diesel locomotives, wagons, vans and coaches, together with related items and artefacts.
