Museum of Scottish Railways

Discover Scotland’s largest railway museum.

 

Follow the visitor trail or cross the historic footbridge at the Bo’ness & Kinneil Railway to find this hidden gem.

 

Three large buildings full of wonders – from full-size locomotives to old fashioned railway signs which once adorned the walls of busy stations, each with a story to tell.

 

Get hands on and discover railway history through fun interactive displays. Climb on board our vintage Glasgow Subway car and feel the past surround you.

 

Become a signalman and pull the levers on the authentic signal  lever frame and challenge your friends to work out how to operate the points.

 

Find out about life aboard a travelling Post Office Coach by sorting the letters yourself and don’t miss the famous video of the Night Mail. All aboard!

 

Climb aboard a mighty steam engine. Imagine the thrill of being on the footplate hurtling along the track at 126mph!
