The collection consists of photographs, antiques, and original print materials. These materials include books, manuals, passenger tickets, and advertisements. The Museum has three exhibition areas. The second is a children’s area, where children can play with railway-themed toys. Its exhibitions are organized by themes, from the past to the present.
The largest exhibit is the Giant Diorama, which is 30 meters wide and 10 meters deep. It includes a 1/80th-scale model train and other facilities. Visitors can interact with the model trains, and try on conductor clothes. The operating simulator experience requires a ticket, and is reserved for children aged six and up. It costs about £8.75 and takes about half an hour. It is recommended that children go there with an adult.
