2004 proved to be one of the mostmemorable years in the National Railway

Museums history. It started immediately

following the acquisition of the worlds most

famous steam locomotive, Flying Scotsman,

after a fundraising exercise that had made

tangible the huge public support for this

British icon. May saw the opening of the

Yorkshire Rail Academy, our joint venture

with York College, to provide education

services and vocational training for the

railway industry. City of Truro, the oldestlocomotive licensed to run on Britains main

lines, re-enacted its record-breaking100mph

run of 100 years ago in a tour of the West

Country.This was closely followed by

Railfest, a gathering of the new and the old

from Britains railways, that was to attract

more than 70,000 people over nine days.

We launched our first programme of main

line train operations for many years in the

summer, during which Flying Scotsmancarried 17,000 passengers to Scarborough

and back.Whilst all this was going on, final

preparations were being made for the

completion of our new visitor attraction inthe north-east, Locomotion, The National

Railway Museum at Shildon, opened by the

Prime Minister,Tony Blair MP, in October.

Next Year

By contrast, 2005 is a year of consolidation.

Planning commences in earnest for the

Museums next ten years. Internally, we

begin to shape ideas for a new generation

of displays, commencing with The FlyingScotsman Story, an exhibition to be launched

in time forEaster2006. The engine itself

operated a second season of regular

excursions, whilst fundraising continued for

its major overhaul in 2006. Design and

fundraising is in full flight forSearch Engine,

the new centre, which, if we are successful,

will bring tens of thousands more users to

our unparalleled library, artwork and archive

collections.At the same time, thinking onYork Central, the 40ha site surrounding the

Museum, is beginning to crystallise and we

will be shaping our own ideas about what

the NRM needs from this development inorder to continue to work for the region.

We dont anticipate quite the same levels

of visitation after 2004s bumper year,

but whilst all these projects are being

planned, work to maintain a high quality

welcome and experience for around

900,000 visitors at York and at Shildon

must continue, and it is here that our main

challenge arises.Whilst external funding

can usually (and eventually!) be found formajor projects, the day-to-day operation

of the Museum becomes increasingly

difficult to sustain from the Museums

year-on-year grant. Our main challenge in

the year ahead will be to ensure that this

contribution can be sustained in the face

of ever tightening budgets.

The NRM has four key objectives:

building, caring for and encouraging the use of the national rail collection;

providing a compelling visitor experience of international standard;

delivering programmes and services for the widest range of learners;

taking our programmes to diverse audiences nationwide.

The National Railway Museum is the largest railway museum in the world and Englands most visited museum outside London.

The National Railway Museum was opened in1975 as

the first National Museum outside London.Within the

National Museum of Science & Industry family of

museums, its role is to engage the broadest possible

audience with the story of the train the technology

that brought to the world the era of accessible transport

for people and goods.

Since the opening ofLocomotion, The National Railway

Museum at Shildon, the Museums success in attractinga mass audience from long distances makes the NRM

a leading player in the regional economies of both

Yorkshire and the north-east of England.

The NRMs core funding is provided by theDepartment for Culture, Media and Sport

(DCMS), within its overall grant to our

parent body, the National Museum of

Science & Industry. In 2004-05 our grant

will have been5.671m (including our share

of head office overhead) for York and

for Shildon.

Trading operations in support of our

activities, from retailing to conference hire,

brought an additional contribution of 723kand Sedgefield Borough Council, our

partner in the operation ofLocomotion,

contributes half the cost of operating

that Museum.

The net average cost to the taxpayer per

visitor in 2004 was 5.90, one of the lowest

figures for any National Museum.

Fundraising

Fundraising activities during the year

brought in a further 3.3m, of which 3.1m

related to the purchase, overhaul and

display ofFlying Scotsman. In addition,partnerships with the private sector brought

very significant help in kind, particularly for

the Railfestevent.We are very grateful to all

those who have made grants or given

donations, large or small, and for their

assistance in the work of the Museum.

In 2005, fundraising focuses on Flying

Scotsman and on helping audiences get the

most from our huge collections of drawings,

photographs, posters and archives.

In January 2006 Flying Scotsman will enter

the Museums workshops for a major

overhaul. In parallel we are shaping a major

new display to tell the locomotives story to

visitors. A recent 275k grant from the

Heritage Lottery Fund, together with an

earlier grant of 0.5m from Yorkshire

Forward and support from our corporate

partners, have already made a massivecontribution to these two projects, the total

cost of which is around 1.3m.We are

confident of recruiting new, additional

supporters to ensure that the overhaul can

be completed by August 2007, allowing theNRM to Keep Scotsman Steamingfor

another decade.

Search Engine is a new project aimed at

transforming the way the NRM manages its

huge hidden collections, changing the way

we open them up for hands-on public

access and making material available via the

Internet. We want people to be able to use

as many as possible of our information

resources books, digital material,photographs, drawings, artworks, sound and

video in whatever ways they want,

without having to make an appointment.

Search Engine provides the opportunity for

companies and individual supporters to

provide valuable matched funding to

complete the project and open up major

capital funding opportunities. The project

has already attracted substantial fundingfrom DCMS and the Higher Education

Funding Council for England and is the

subject of a current 1m bid to the

Heritage Lottery Fund.

Acquisitions

In 2004 we acquired 821 items for the

collections including:

A letter, written in early October 1825 by

14 year-old John Backhouse of Darlington

to his sister, giving his account of the

opening day of the Stockton & Darlington

Railway, and including his pencil sketch of

the opening train.This is perhaps the first

ever description of a train on a publicrailway;

An 1841 letter from Timothy Hackworth

to the Chairman of the Liverpool &

Manchester Railway, announcing his

removal from the original Stockton &

Darlington Railway Works to Shildon, and

hoping for locomotive orders;

Original paintings of Berwick Castleby Guy Malet and of Ribblehead Viaduct

by Charles Potter, commissioned by

BRs advertising department for

railway posters;

Class 47 diesel electric locomotiveNo 47798 Prince William, donated by

English Welsh & Scottish Railway.

The locomotive, one of 500 similar class

of second-generation main line diesels

built in1965, was responsible for hauling

the royal train for over ten years;

Steam locomotive and tender, London

& North Eastern Railway, Class A3 Pacific

4-6-2 No 4472 Flying Scotsman.

Conservation

In preparation for the opening of

Locomotion, we carried out restoration

works on the Southern Railway 2-BIL

electric suburban train, two royal train

support vehicles, four freight vehicles and

the small but historically very significant

Armstrong Whitworth diesel electric

locomotive, the latter by volunteers at York.

Housing and Documentation

Housing and documentation activities

provide the gateway to an accessible

collection and the work is never-ending.

During the year, for example, volunteers

from the Bluebell Railway completed a

project to list the Southern Railway

locomotive drawings, whilst five catalogues,

including the North British Locomotive

Company drawings and records, were

brought up to international standards,allowing copies to be deposited both in

the Reading Room in York and in the

National Archives at Kew.

Last Year 2004-05The National Collection

Locomotion,The National Railway Museum at Shildon, in County Durham welcomed 112,000 visitors in its first six months of operation.FACT

Education and Learning

In 2004-05 the Education Team worked

with 34,000 students from all over the

world. 56 young people from York special

schools performed a piece of music they

had composed to celebrate 200 years of

railways, in a partnership project with

Amicus. Science came to life in March

during Science WeekwithMay the Force be

with You, an innovative partnership with the

Yorkshire Museum exploring forces andfriction with primary children.

Yorkshire Rail Academy

In May 2004, the YRA was officially opened

by Charles Clarke MP, the then Secretary

of State for Education. Since it opened, the

YRA has developed partnerships with

railway companies such as Network Rail

and Grant Rail to deliver their trainingprogrammes.The YRA also works with

schools, and the team has trained teachers

in electronic engineering as well as hosting

a national OFSTED training day for

science teachers.

Trackwise

The ever popularTrackwise has gone from

strength to strength.With partner First

Transpennine, 285 children from Leeds,

Middlesbrough and Scarborough attended

two enjoyable days which included craft

activities, as well as a session on track safety

led by the British Transport Police and

Northern Trains.These safety sessions have

been developed into an interactive session

held in the YRA for students from KeyStages1-4.

Transporting Lives

With a 45k grant from DCMS, Locomotion

staff set up a partnership programme with

other north-east museums to explore

changes in transport and the impact these

have had on the environment. Students

from five secondary schools, inspired by thecollections at the museums, produced

artworks for display at Locomotion.

Programmes

A varied programme of events included

The Magic of the Railways a magical

extravaganza to link with theArt of Magic,

the theme forChildrens Art Day.The

introduction ofDiesel Cab-Itto the

programme proved extremely popular with

the Driver for a Fiverbeing a big hit with

visitors. During the summer holidays, 3,500

people enjoyed dressing up against the new

backdrop to Put Yourself in the Picture.

Institute of Railway Studies& Transport History

In September 2004, the Institute hosted the

Third International Early Railways

Conference, a triennial meeting of experts

on the history of railways before the advent

of long-distance lines.Teaching innovations

included the Graduate Certificate inTransport History and a specialist

undergraduate course in the history of

urban transport.The Institute started

working with the Family and Community

History Research Society to map digitally

the growth of public transport networks

between the world wars.

Through train operations, loans,partnerships and education initiatives, the

NRM takes its programmes nationwide.

In 2004, the opening ofLocomotion added a

completely new dimension to these

activities.This section looks at activities for

audiences away from York and Shildon.

Locomotive Operations

After a two-year restoration programme

funded bySteam Railwayreaders and bysupporters Andrew Goodman, Alan Moore

and Bill Parker, City of Truro undertook a

programme of operations to celebrate the

centenary of its 1904 100mph record run.

It ran to Devon and Cornwall twice and

operated on the Gloucester &

Warwickshire, the Swindon & Cricklade, the

Mid Hants and the West Somerset Railways.

Its operations were accompanied by intense

local interest with an estimated 15,000people at the line side on its May trip from

Bristol to Kingswear in Devon.

Flying Scotsman Operations

Following its acquisition at the beginning of

April, a hastily arranged summer season of

tours from York to Scarborough carr ied

17,000 passengers. Many thousands made

their way to the line side, as Flying Scotsman

became another of Yorkshires regular

heritage attractions.

Loans

During the year 2,034 objects from

our collection were on loan to 82

venues nationwide.

Overseas, ten objects were loaned to the

D-Bahn Museum in Nuremberg, Germany,

for a long-term display on early railways.

94 objects were lent to the Modern

Transportation Museum in Osaka, Japan, for

the exhibition The World of the British RoyalTrain in celebration of the fifth anniversary

of our sisterhood agreement with them.

Operating Partnerships

Partnerships with heritage railways see a

huge range of locomotives and other

vehicles cared for and demonstrated around

the UK. Both the Beattie Well Tankat

Bodmin and the Robinson O4 freight

locomotive based at Loughborough worked

regularly, returning for a brief period to York

to participate in Railfest. Oliver Cromwell, on

display at Bressingham for many years, came

to Railfestand was moved to Loughboroughwhere it will be restored to running order

by a local volunteer consortium. Green Arrow

operated at Bressingham and on the North

Norfolk Railway.

Work neared completion at Crewe on the

LNWRSuper-D freight locomotive, on

Sir Lamiel at Loughborough and Lord Nelson

at Eastleigh.All are expected to be

completed in 2005.

Last Year 2004-05Audiences Nationwide

There are around 2,500 museums in the UK, attracting over 80m visitors.FACT

NRM Friends

The Friends have had another busy year.

At Railfest, a lounge was provided for

members and their guests; in the Concrete

Works, a sales stand did good business.

Outreach teams represented the Museum

at the opening ofLocomotion, at the North

Yorkshire Moors Railway during their

Gresley Festival and at events in the South of

England. On the Flying Scotsman Ride the

Legendservice, Friends acted as stewards

and sales staff. FNRM Enterprises publishednew books and greatly increased their

turnover.The Friends collection boxes

situated around the NRM raised

considerable funds and the NRM Review

continued to entertain and inform

members.The second phase of the Oral

History project got under way.

Volunteers

2004-05 saw almost a 25% increase in the

number of volunteers involved with the

Museum from around 200 to just under

250.This years Flying Scotsman services

involved over 3,000 hours of volunteer

input and contributed to making it a very

successful summer. New volunteers came

from throughout the country and even

the continent!

The Information Points, Miniature Railwayand guarding on the standard gauge lines

at the NRM have been operating at

capacity for the year and there is now a

waiting list of prospective volunteers who

wish to get involved.

Several major engineering drawing

collections have been listed and the

catalogues published, including Stoke Works

and Bow Works, and there are several

catalogues in preparation and severalprojects ongoing. Altogether, over 21,000

individual drawings have been listed by

volunteers to date this year.
