Year 3 had a fantastic time at the National Railway Museum, Shildon. We were able to look at different artefacts, from whistles to some very tall hats. We even got to stand in the driver’s cab and find out how they would use the train engine to cook their breakfast.

The trains we looked at were beautiful, but we thought that we would like to travel in the Royal Carriage rather than Third Class, which has no roof. We were thrilled to see a replica of one of the engines that raced against George Stephenson’s Locomotion.
