|
This was my first visit to the NRM this millennium! I used to go quite often in the 1990s...
I make no apology for the number of images here, I was simply like a kid in a sweet shop yesterday, I hope members will forgive me for the number of images or the size. I have tried to get a good cross section of the types and the different companies on show. I spent all in all about 3 hours there, I clould have stayed longer but we had to have a shop (other half) and I needed a pint and some lunch too as well as a mooch around York too. Well worth a 700 mile round trip!
ANyway a few images! I have divided them into the big four railway companies as well as diesel/steam.

The 1906 Dynamometer car is fascinating...
Looks like an Edwardian door to a front palour, rather than a state of the art scientific measuring 'office'...
