A visit to Steam Museum, Swindon on the 30-12-2010.

We Start at Swindon station where we see 43,195 and 43,145 & 43,139. We then go to Steam Museum! Outside it we see an 0-4-0 Industrial tank engine, can anyone tell me more about it? Then we go into Steam! First we see a fire engine and a wall of name plates, including, 5069 Isambard Kingdom Brunel, 5070 Sir Daniel Gooch, G.J. Churchwood, 4000 North Star, 2920 Saint David. Then we walk round the museum, starting in the carriage shop we see a carriage being built, then we go into the Machine Shop where we see the machines at work! In the boiler shop we see 4248 representing to loco being built! Then we see the Finished Product 4073 Caerphilly Castle! Next it's a walk through Box Tunnel to where we find The Man Himself "Isambard Kingdom Brunel" with his broad gauge loco North Star! We then see a few more locos and carriages including Dean Goods 2516, 94xx 9400, 4003 Lode Star, GWR Rail car No. 4, a royal coach and bar car 9631. The final Gallery is "Speed to the West" where we see a model railway of Dawlish!

We then visit the shopping centre next door where we see 7819 Hinton Manor and some other bits of former works machinery.

at 1:05 it looks like it belongs to an 0-4-0 engine like shannon.

@ibidydo It won't be a loco like Shannon because Shonnon is the only one of its type left!
