Our nationally significant museum collection of working locomotives and wagons brings back to life the variety of narrow-gauge trains that used to work in quarries and factories all over Britain.

Experience the sights and sounds of traditional quarrying methods, as our classic Ruston-Bucyrus 10RB face shovel--rescued from the nearby sand quarries--loads sand into narrow-gauge wagons, for transport to the tipping dock.
