About
Join us this summer for a special Vintage Train Running Day: Summer Time Excursions and the Riviera, a unique midsummer event at the Museum.
Our next theme celebrates the golden age of summer railway travel. Experience the nostalgia of classic seaside journeys, inspired by trains that once departed from Paddington Station bound for the Cornish coast. Think sunshine, seaside holidays, palm trees, and the unmistakable excitement of summer excursions.
Visitors can enjoy:
- Classic British locomotives, including Kings and Castles
- A variety of trains capture the spirit of the “English Riviera”
- A journey beyond Britain to the glamour of the 1930s French Riviera, featuring routes from Paris to Nice and Cannes
- Elegant Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits sleeping and dining cars
- French PLM locomotives representing continental luxury travel
Train Running Days are special public events held twice a year at the Museum, offering visitors the chance to see locomotives in full operation on the central 1930s Gauge 0 layout.
This remarkable model railway, created by Chris Littledale, is the centrepiece of the Museum’s collection. With a three-rail track and around 50 locomotives and trains, the layout brings 1930s railway life vividly to life.
