The
National Railway Museum in York tells the story of rail transport in Britain and beyond.
In the main hall are some semaphore signals and engine nameplates.

Like many museums there is too much to display properly but the warehouse is worth a visit for its floor to ceiling storage.
There is a statue of Richard Trevithick who built the world's first steam railway engine in 1804.
This statue of Brittania was in Euston Station for over 100 years.
Note below it a Harry Potter 9¾ platform sign in the classic enamel British Railways style.
Mooch says to check out the design styling on many of the exhibits, such as this Art Deco detail on a streamlined engine.
All this trekking around the museum meant Mooch needed refreshments!
