Features

Drive Experience: Feel the power and excitement as you drive and fire one of our resident steam locomotives along our historic ex-colliery line, winding through the stunning scenery of Chasewater Country Park. Whether you’re fulfilling a lifelong ambition or searching for an unforgettable gift, this hands-on steam locomotive experience is truly one of a kind.
Carriage and Wagon: The High Capacity Coal Waggon, The Merry Go Round Waggon or more commonly referred to as MGR hopper, had a long life, first prototypes were built in Darlington works in 1964, and testing at Darlington Works led to over 11,000 waggons being built at Shildon Waggon Works from 1965 to 1980’s.
Museum: Visitors can view a vast array of railway items, some from as early as the 1800s. Although we try to focus on artefacts associated with the local area, with its strong links with the coal mining industry, our collections include items from much further afield. You don’t have to be an expert on railways to appreciate the inspirational displays prepared by our Museum Curator, Barry Bull, and his team of volunteer helpers.
