I was with my good friend and fellow aircraft enthusiast Gaz today but this time the theme was trains!
Quoting from the website:
"Barrow Hill Roundhouse is the last surviving railway roundhouse in the United Kingdom with an operational turntable. Built in 1870, it was threatened with demolition in 1991 when the site was closed by British Rail. It was saved by a group of dedicated volunteers who have transformed it into a unique railway museum and events venue."
The museum has plenty of locos, both diesel and steam, including a number of restoration projects. The Deltic restoration group are also on site and were open during our visit.
A nice little cafe gave our better halves somewhere to sit for a chat whilst we had a wander.
