The Amberley collection is one of the most varied in the UK. With the arrival of Cloister in early 2009, we have, currently, steam locomotives - two in service and three awaiting boiler work - a large number of diesel and petrol locos and three operational battery electric locos. This page should hopefully assist visitors to the Museum in identifying what is what. However, if you require a more in-depth history of our locomotives and rolling stock, all this is contained in our Stock Book available from the Museum shop or by post - price £3.95 (see advertising feature on the Home page).
