It really is a great little museum. A few years ago the roof collapsed and it looked as if the whole museum might fold as a result of lack of money, and it was the model railroading community who got together and raised the cash to put it back on track again. There is a working model railroad in one of the preserved coaches, but I couldn't get any decent photos of it as it was surrounded by a perspex shield.

More photos on the way!

I wonder how many times that numbered arch had to be repaired because of out-of-gauge tunnels?!
