Viewing large rolling stock
With a locomotive, take in its proportions first. The explanations can then help you recognise components and their functions, without needing any technical knowledge beforehand.
Work in progress
The depot is also a working environment. Which work can be seen varies from day to day; follow the marked routes and do not regard maintenance as a demonstration guaranteed in advance.
On a smaller scale
The model railway on the upper floor offers a different perspective on rail transport. Ask about access and availability if this part matters to your group.
Before you go
Wednesday and Saturday have different closing times. According to the information, guided tours need a week’s preparation; check public holidays and the accessibility of the workshop and the upper floor.
