These have been converting the existing buildings to make them usable, building a large storage shed to allow exit from rented accommodation for the majority of the Trust’s collection, and building the Phase One passenger railway.
The next major project will be the construction and opening of a museum building; the MRT has always been a museum focused organisation, and the words “conservation” and “interpretation” form key parts of the MRT’s mission statement.
The three examples pictured this week are the museum at the APPEVA site at Froissy, France, the exhibition hall at the Amberley Museum, and the new Engine House at Highley on the Severn Valley Railway (albeit with rails set rather too widely spaced in the latter case).
