Join us for the day as we journey to Shildon and to Locomotion for its summer festival, where we can see the iconic locomotive, Flying Scotsman on static display.

Lead sponsor Hornby will display a special model railway layout at the museum during the festival, running the steam ‘Flying Scotsman’ model locomotive.

At Locomotion, you can see highlights of the national collection of railway vehicles in the world’s first railway town.

The town of Shildon has had an exciting story to tell since the earliest days of the rail industry, making it the perfect place to explore the rich seam of local railway history and discover how the railways have changed all our lives.

The opening of New Hall has created the largest collection of historic rail vehicles, under cover and on display in Europe.
