The Narrow Gauge Railway Museum

The interior of the old museum - the slate walls of the coal yard can be seen and the spartan conditions which were too hot in summer and damp and cold in winter

George Henry and Dot stand side by side. Many small exhibits are exhibited on the walls.

On 11 July 1994 a new and differently constituted Trust, superseded the 1964 Trust and brought the Museum closer to the Talyllyn organisation while retaining the independence necessary for a charitable body with all the responsibilities of running a registered museum.
As the TRPS approached its Golden Jubilee in 2000, an appeal was launched for a new station building with improved passenger facilities and a new museum providing a much improved environment for the collection. With the aid of the Heritage Lottery Fund, The National Assembly for Wales, The Welsh Development Agency, The Wales Tourist Board, CyMAL, and a large contribution from Museum supporters and members of the TRPS, sufficient funds were raised and this building was formally opened by the Prince of Wales on 13th July 2005.
The collection is now displayed and interpreted in a more logical way and includes the Wilbert Awdry Study and some exhibits stored for many years. The most notable of these are cast iron artefacts like the plateway wagon wheel of the Madeley Wood Company of Ironbridge dated 1844. The collection continues to grow and inform new generations about our rich narrow gauge railway heritage.
