East Anglian Railway Museum has a collection of steam engines, carriages, wagons, and a mini rail which you can explore.

You can pull the levers in the Signal Box and learn how a signalman controlled the trains on the lines. Explore the carriages and go back in time to how the previous generations would travel. Enjoy rides on our Mini Rail which has been upgraded this year: Mum & Dad can ride with you.
Come along at Easter, and August Bank Holiday and ride along with Thomas and some of his friends. Have your photograph taken with the Fat Controller and ask him if his engines are behaving themselves today. Do some colouring or drawing in the Imagination Station. Watch the clowns performing tricks and the Punch and Judy shows. Join in the fun with a re-enactment with Thomas perhaps helping to fill him with water. Ride inside Daisy the DMU, and Henrietta will be pulled along by Toby. Refreshments will be available throughout the day.
Thomas and Santa will also be here during the weekends in December.
There will be a Vintage Transport Extravaganza early May where there will be trains, buses, lorries, cars and motor cycles on display.

East Anglian Railway Museum has a picnic area and a Refreshment Room.

Thomas gifts, Model Railway items and Railway Books.

Disabled Toilets and Bay Changing facilities are available.

From the A12 take Junction 26 and take the A1124 towards Halstead for approximately 5 miles. Into the village of Chappel, take the first right after the viaduct and we are at the top of the hill. East Anglian Railway Museum is at the Chappel and Wakes Colne Station on the Marks Tey or Sudbury Branch line. Bus Services to the village from Colchester and Halstead are operated by First and Hedingham.

East Anglian Railway Museum recommends that suitable footwear is worn and also bear in mind that most of the trains are outside so suitable coats maybe necessary. The site is in two parts accessed by a Footbridge with steps. Disabled access is available but recommend a car as the site straddles a Railway Line. It is advisable to telephone before a visit.
