National Railway Museum York, Friends of the

'Formed in 1977 to support the Museum. We help to fund the restoration of exhibits in the National Collection, the acquisition of new artefacts, and other projects that would otherwise not be possible. We also support and promote research and educational projects relating to the history and development of railways. The Friends are based in our own office at the Railway Museum in York with a North East branch at Locomotion and a group in the South of England.'
