Visting The National Railway Museum In York

The National Railway Museum located in York opened its doors in 1975 and is home to a collection of over 100 locomotives and nearly 300 other items of rolling stock. The museum is free to enter however does accept donations at various points around the site.
In this video I explore The National Railway Museum and discover the many different rooms and locomotives on display. The National Railway Museum was established on its present site, the former York North locomotive depot, in 1975, when it took over the former British Railways collection located in Clapham. Since opening next to the current York Railway Station the collection has continued to grow with new exhibitions and locomotives coming to the site on a regular bases.

    My son got to sit in and drive that miniature railway 47 a few years ago because he stood talking to the men who ran it. It was a real treat for him. He loved it.

    The loco in the North Shed is GNR "Henry Oakley", which is still at the museum but not on display sadly, and the North Staffordshire battery loco and Grand Junction Railway travelling post office at 27:24 were temporarily moved to Shildon, but will be returning after the renovations are finished.

    I went there in 1999 as part of a day trip to York. I also remember visiting a model railway next to the station. I live in the US and I was amazed at how simple it was to get from my hotel in London to York all by rail. It isn't something that can be done in most parts of the US. Great video, brings back a lot of memories.

Since we went before and did most of the theme parks, we took it easier with us spending the first week in the hard rock hotel at universal Orlando and spent the second week outside of the parks. The weird thing is, I've been to Disney world, universal Orlando, seaworld, legoland Florida and Busch gardens but I've never been to Chessington, Thorpe park, legoland Windsor or Paulton's park.

    When you visit the Netherlands later this year, are you going to visit the railway museum in Utrecht as well? I think you would really like it. It has some rides (like in a theme park) and of course trains you can look at and go inside of. And lots of information (I think all the information is available in English as well). It is a really cool museum!

I have done two small Vlogs on my channel for Chasewater. It is also from our homeland, Staffordshire.

How best take in each item/pace yourself for exhibits and time sorta question. Thanks....!
