Description
To celebrate Railway200, the Midland Railway Study Centre will open it’s doors for a second themed railway heritage weekends at the Museum of Making.
Railway People will include displays of ephemera, photographs and documents from the Midland Railway Study Centre collections. There will be Midland Railway Society members on hand to welcome visitors and to talk about the material on display, the wider theme and railways in general.
In the Studios, the educational spaces at the Museum of Making, there will be stalls and stands for heritage railway partners and other relevant organisations to come and talk about their activities plus a small presentation area.
The Study Centre Co-ordinator, Dave Harris, will deliver a live illustrated talk on the event theme lasting approximately an hour. Meanwhile upstairs in the Railways Revealed gallery the Model Railway volunteers will be operating the Kirtley Junction layout all day each day, as well as putting on their own displays of their craft.
We are looking forward to welcoming visitors whether dyed-in-the-wool Midland Railway enthusiasts, railway or history devotees in general or those just looking for a day out with a difference.
