Locomotives
At Didcot you can see what is believed to be the largest collection of locomotives, from any one railway company, anywhere in the world.
Some may be in steam on our demonstration lines or shunting in the yard, whilst others may be on display in our Great Western Railway Engine Shed. You will also be able to see several locomotives being restored in our modern and well equipped Locomotive Works.
