Visiting the Museum
The Museum is now open for 2023 with its standard opening hours on Wednesday to Sunday every week (+ bank holiday Mondays) of 10:00 to 16:30. First train is at 10:30 with the service finishing just before 16:00.

Because of limitations on the number of cars that can be accommodated in the car park, visitors to the Museum, including members, are recommended to book their entry tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. The Museum's booking app will show "Fully Booked" once the limit is reached. However, if you are arriving by train or other means and you won't require a parking space, entry to the Museum will still be possible. There is no limit on the number of visitors allowed on site.

With that in mind, please use this link to book your tickets.

Steam Trains
Throughout the 2023 season, on selected days and events our steam locomotive "Peter" (W G Bagnall 0-4-0ST No.2067/1918) will be used on the Museum train service.

The planned dates on which Peter will be in service can be found here.

Polar Bear
"Polar Bear" is now out of service pending boiler and mechanical repairs, a job expected to take about 2 years.
See separate news item.

A Just Giving page has been set up to raise the funds needed for this task. If you would like to help by making a donation we will be extremely grateful. Thank you in advance for your generosity. (Don't forget to use Gift Aid if you are a UK tax-payer as this increases the value of your donation by 25%)

Peldon
We apologise for the non-appearence of Peldon (J FOWLER Resilient JF21295) this year. This loco is currently undergoing some heavy repairs and it will be a while before these can be completed.

The chronology should be about right but if you spot any glaring errors or inconsistencies, then please let us know.

Thanks to Richard Cossey for the loan of the photographs from the Brockham Museum, the 1982-85 and 1988 sections.
