Researchers Night

As part of YorNight 2014 we are presenting Rail Search – an exclusive after-hours experience at the National Railway Museum which offers a special chance to see our research programme and collections up close and personal. Rail Search will include a series of short talks and displays by curators and researchers in the unique setting of our Great Hall. Discover the unsung the role of ambulance trains in World War 1, the Victorian fascination with illustrations of railway tunnels, and why an Edwardian model railway has a crucial 21st century safety role. Hear the stories behind all manner of railway objects, from uniform buttons to railway carriages, become a railway research detective, and find out how research brings the collections to life and shows why railways and their past matter today. Free entry. Our Cafe will be open and car parking will be free for attendees. For more information visit http://www.nrm.org.uk/PlanaVisit/Events/researchers-night.aspx
