737 and Topaz Exhibition

Don't miss this new display of Wainwright D Class No 737 and Topaz exhibited together for the first time in the Great Hall. This new interpretation puts the spotlight on two unsung stars of the collection and provides a fantastic opportunity to bring the story of this beautiful loco and famous carriage alive.

Admission Free


Until 6 September 2010.

This new exhibition, in Once Upon a Tide - North Sea Ferry Tales

partnership with the National Railway Museum in the Netherlands, will use the Museum's rich poster collections to explore the past, present and future of the Harwich-Hook ferry route. Explore the personal recollections of travellers throughout over 100 years of North Sea crossings from back-packers to fine dining and family holidays. Don't miss the chance to walk onto the deck of a ‘roll-on roll-off ferry' as you see the turntable as you have never experienced it before!
