[Photoplug] Darlington Head of Steam museum

I have uploaded 47 photos of the Head of Steam Museum. Situated in the 1842 station built by the Stockton & Darlington Rly, it is home to legendary S & D 0-4-0 No 1 Locomotion (1825), S & D 0-6-0 No 25 Derwent (1845), NER Tennant 2-4-0 No 1463 (1885) and NER 0-8-0 No 901 (BR Q7 63460, 1919). There are also a few photos of locomotives including 78018 owned by the Darlington Rly Preservation Society, who are based near the museum.

Here is the link; I hope you like them:

Thanks for posting shots, really interesting. Visited earlier in the year but we were bit late so it was closed, wanted to have a browse in the Ken Hoole room.
Pity that nothing more is done with the Northern Rail part of the station as it is very tatty.

 

it is the j27 boiler i think .

 

An excellent photo summary of the museum. Worth a visit if you're in Darlington.

 

Thanks for the comments. I have corrected the caption re 65894.
