Great place. Always welcoming volunteers and it's nice to see some tlc be given to 6233 Duchess of Sutherland. Also have a boiler pipe too. Will be coming back.

Great to see the work on these mighty engines being carried out. And a beautiful royal carriage which was used by Winston Churchill too. Great volunteers who love to chat and have a brew with you.

This is a great little place for steam locomotive enthusiasts, I take my train mad child quite often and the people who run the shed are friendly and informative - even taking my boy onto the footplate and teaching him the controls. There is also the provision of a nice little cafe with activities for little ones. We used to visit the West Shed quite often by accessing via a footpath that runs by the Midland Railway line, however unfortunately this is now blocked so access is only via paying to ride the Midland Railway locomotive.
