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.
Thanks
With around 40% of visitors from the C2DE bracket, the NRM is particularly successful at delivering the Governments broadening audiences agenda.
