The museum is now fully accessible from the ground to the main floor via a lift.
The museum is an industrial environment containing moving machinery, steep stairs and hard surfaces. Children must remain supervised at all times. Self-guided and guided tours of engine number 7 will require climbing steep stairs and there is a minimum height requirement of 1.4m (4′ 7″) due to the historic railings.

We will always endeavour to run the engine on the published dates but as with any machine approaching 100 years old, mechanical failure can occasionally occur. Please check our website prior to visiting.
