This museum is the perfect place for train enthusiasts of all ages - and there is plenty for children to do here, with interactive exhibits.  Here you can learn about the history of how steam engines were made - all housed on the site of the former works.  You can even walk underneath an engine!  - or stand in a cab for a simulated drive (ideal for older children).  There is a play area with crayons and train pictures where children can spend a few quieter minutes in between exploring the engines and large displays. 

Allow around half a day to really make the most of your visit here.
