Overview

Founded in 1985 as Museum of World Railways (MWR), it changed its name in 1992. The centre is open between Easter weekend and the first weekend in November.

Exhibits

Alco switcher

Railworld has an American Alco S1 switcher diesel locomotive number 804. It is one of the five locomotives built by the American Locomotive Company for the Steel Company of Wales works at Margam.

Danish Pacific

There is also a Danish Pacific Vauclain compound, DSB No. 996 built by Frichs in the 1950s.

Railworld has two vehicles that are unique:

  • Tracked Hovercraft's RTV 31 .
  • The Birmingham Maglev vehicle (the only one that people can see and enter).

    Over the next few years a new exhibition centre is being built called the Transeco Centre. This will promote sustainable transport as well as looking after the heritage vehicles.
