    Very friendly and informational staff. Caught up with the last Fell Engine and learned a lot about life for the drivers and firemen. Enjoyed our visit  more »

    Well worth a 40 minute stop. Start with the excellent 20-minute documentary and then browse the galleries and the historic train. Little kids with an interest in trains will love this museum. Adults will find it interesting. Older kids may be a bit bored by the old-fashioned presentation of history and technology.

    Highly recommended to stop in and visit $6 an adult, the train is impressive. Cold water is for sale and they have a shop with all things relating to trains. Staff are fantastic, thanks to the volunteers who run this place. You rock

    Came after reading 'hero of the hill'. So great to be able to see the engine in person.

    Great museum for the kids, affordable and not too big.
