Description: | Rolling stock forms a main part of the transport collections, including part of a coach from the original passenger line, early stock from the opening of the present 15-inch gauge track and wagons used for transporting granite from the local quarries. Other items connected with the history of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway include models and railway memorabilia and links with the tourism industry. Collections also cover other local railways and associated industries in Cumbria. The general development of model and miniature railways is represented by a collection of model trains. Items are acquired where they had direct associations with the famous model-maker and founder of the present narrow-gauge railway, Bassett-Lowke. | Subjects: | Transport | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway
