A great day out for the general enthusiast to the family. Family run private collection of railway memorabilia and rolling stock. Some of the rolling stock is the last examples left. a worthy visit for anyone. Friendly service, a cafe area. A true hidden gem that should not be left to the visiting tourist.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Wonderful place for adults and children alike! So much to see, and a train ride included. Staff were very friendly and helpful and it’s great value.
Such a friendly place, with an impressive collection of both rolling stock and many other railway artifacts. Not to mention the train rides available. Be sure to try your hand at the mechanical lever signal box frame and get to grips with interlocking which prevents trains colliding. The whole apparatus was sourced locally from the old Southminster signal box, before modernisation to colour light signalling.
Lovely railway museum, well worth a visit for enthusiasts. It has a lot of coaches you can go inside. There is a short line you can have a ride on, there is also the option to walk the line. For the children there is a wooden train set and a wooden James from Thomas and friends.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Amazing collection of railway signs from across the UK. Plenty of unchanged, unrestored Rolling stock left in original condition. Friendly staff and a fun train ride too
A truly amazing bringing together of railway yesterday's. The site is well laid out. There are plenty of covid-19 sanitizer stations. The staff were courteous, helpful and informative. The short ride added to the occasion. It was all relaxing and an enjoyable experience.
Brilliant afternoon with our 2 grandsons...age 4 and 2...the winner was of course Santa but equally toy train table which neither of them would leave....it appeared a big hit with all visiting children. The museum itself is amazing with such a collection of memorabilia we need to return to take it all in. Our greeting on arrival was lovely as was the presentation of our tickets..which included tickets to see Santa and drink with snacks ...our train ride to Santa was magical, our grandson has been wanting to get on a train with slamming doors so he got his wish ....
I did not see many road signs for the museum, which is situated on a farm. On opening days trains run on the short demonstration line; check the website before you go. The ticket office is an old railway carriage, which doubles up as a buffet, which basically sells hot and cold drinks and a few biscuits; best take a picnic. The two museum buildings are packed with loads of artefacts and if you are interested in that kind of thing, you won't mind paying the £8 admission fee for adults. It will keep you occupied for 2-3 hours.
Visited with my 3 year old son, turned up and wasn’t too sure it was open at first! Went in, and was greeted by who I think was the co-owner, very nice lady! As we were the only two there, she arranged for the train to be started so we could go on a train ride. We managed to get our own private train journey down the line and back which my boy loved! we toured the museum and I must say what an amazing amount of railway collections they have! I was shocked by how much they had! The museum is a great size and so much history and collections on view. I would highly recommend this place to any railway enthusiasts. Well worth the visit and the money! 10/10 it’s just a real shame it wasn’t busier! Will definitely return in the summer!
Great variety of train memorabilia and trains. Very friendly staff and dog. Fun train ride. Shame it isn't busier.
