The Amberley Museum Industrial Railway Collection

History of the collection

The Industrial Railway Collection at the Amberley Museum in West Sussex has become one of the most important collections of industrial railway equipment in the UK. The history of the collection actually goes back further than even the initial concept of the Museum at Amberley with the formation of the Brockham collection and acquisitions by the Narrow Gauge Railway Society during the 1950s and 1960s.

Industrial railways have a fascination of their own. Main stream gricing it most definitely is not, but we are all allowed our little fetishes, aren't we? (And that's the only one I'm telling you about!)

The Amberley Museum Industrial Railway Collection

Two of the Museum's Hudson Hunslet locos double head a one-coach passenger train out of Brockham Station a few years ago.
Not really required but it looked, and sounded, good!
Compare the background to this photo with that of the Fowler "Peldon" on page 2.
