STEAM - Museum of the Great Western Railway
STEAM tells the remarkable story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on 'God's Wonderful Railway'.
|
This story is brought to life with videos - mixing rare archive film footage with the stories of ex-railway workers - and hands-on exhibits and interactive displays, famous locomotives and GWR memorabilia. The museum is peopled by character figures life-cast from Swindon people - many of them former railway workers.
° Meet the Railway Workers: Every Fortnight Sat 10-4pm
° Changing Trains Exhibition: Journey from Steam to Diesel
° Christmas Parties at STEAM |
