Christmas at the NRM

Book your Christmas Party now! It might seem a long way off, but the National Railway Museum is encouraging people to book their Christmas parties now after the sell-out success of 2007! (External link).


New Model Army

New Model Army is a rock band with a world-wide fan base. During 30 years of recording and touring the travel experiences of the band have inspired many of their songs. In this exhibition the band members talk about traveling by train: the places they have been, the view from the windows and the people they have met.


New Scotsman Cufflinks

A fabulous new set of Flying Scotsman cufflinks have been launched. They are the perfect Christmas gift and feature Scotsman’s firebox door with the locomotive’s famous number 4472. They have been cast using original bronze from one of Flying Scotsman’s 1948 axle bogie boxes.


Search Engine

At Search Engine, the National Railway Museum’s brand new Library and Archive Centre, we are opening up the Museum's hidden gems to the public. Behind the scenes at the NRM lies a vast archive holding all the NRM’s accumulated knowledge about the history of the railways.

Temporary exhibitions will be available to showcase the wealth of the archive, the latest of these being 'Case Studies' running from 23 June to November 2008.
