Welcome

Welcome to Locomotion Models

Locomotion Models work with leading model railway manufacturers to produce an exclusive range of scale models recreating the National Collection in Miniature. This collection of locomotives and rolling stock is preserved by the Science Museum Group and can be found at our museums in both York and Shildon, other Science Museum Group sites, and on loan to other museums and heritage sites. Profits from each sale allow our expert museum teams to conserve, care and restore our collection for the nation to continue enjoying for years to come.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this period and we will do our best to minimise any inconvenience.
