Recreating the golden age of the Great Western Railway with a fine collection of over 20 steam locomotives, housed in the original engine shed, together with many passenger coaches and freight wagons. Other locomotives can be seen being overhauled in the Locomotive Works. There is a typical country station and signal box, and a recreation of Brunel's original broad gauge railway together with an impressive display of smaller items in the Relics Display. On Steamdays some of the locomotives come to life and you can ride the 1930s carriages and see the activities of a typical steam age depot. In 2007 we celebrate 75 years of the engine shed and 40 years since the Great Western Society saved it for preservation with a 40 75 Anniversary Gala on 5-7 May with many visiting steam engines and special displays.
