National Railway Museum

Now this museum was stunning, even for non-railway-nerds!

For only three pounds per person we have spent two hours wandering around the museum and taking pictures of trains from different decades (including Hogwarts Express).

The Hogwart's Express from the Harry Potter films. The museum holds the most amazing collection of trains from all over the world.

Number 4468 Mallard is a London and North Eastern Railway Class A4 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotive built at Doncaster, England in 1938. It is historically significant as the holder of the world speed record for steam locomotives.
