Daily until September 5th Railway Children 40th Anniversary
2010 marks the 40th Anniversary of the making of the EMI film of The Railway Children, which starred Dinah Sheridan, Jenny Agutter, Sally Thomsett, Bernard Cribbins, Gary Warren and William Mervyn. Five of the original carriages from the film are based at the Museum of Rail Travel, together with the steam locomotive Lord Mayor, which appeared on the film soundtrack LP record sleeve. To commemorate the 40th Anniversary, one of the carriages is being specially painted into an approximation of the special livery which was carried by most of the carriages for the filming. A small temporary exhibition of Railway Children memorabilia complements the original vintage railway carriages.
An extra attraction at weekends - two museums at Ingrow
At weekends Ingrow Loco, owned by the Bahamas Locomotive Society is also open. Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Green Rover tickets include admission to both the Museum of Rail Travel and Ingrow Loco.
