We have TONS of railway books to get rid of. Mostly secondhand and transport-related (trams, trains waterways etc.). There is a lot there and we just need to get rid of them as soon as possible. Any charity shops, railway clubs or anyone else who is interested, please get in contact. You can have them free as long as you can pick all or some boxes up.

If you find yourself in Lancashire we highly recommend a visit to the marvellous Bolton Steam Museum. It is entirely run by enthusiastic volunteers who have restored a huge collection of engines to their former glory. This engine is running on electricity but there a few days throughout the year when you can see the machines run on steam. #industrial #industrialheritage #heritage #heritagevolunteers #volunteers

We're hoping to introduce a lot more interactive elements to our displays. Volunteers have done great work making this large vehicle engine run at the touch of button - it proved very popular with our young visitors last Sunday! #museumweek #playmw
