Whether you're an individual or an organisation, find out how you can support us in our work as we prepare for a bright future with our New Hall as part of our masterplan.
Locomotion’s new building is part of our ambitious plan to transform the museum, allowing us to tell the exciting and inspirational role played by Shildon and the North-East in the global railway story.
Our masterplan also allows us to safeguard the collection, diversify our volunteer team and create new jobs. It will allow us to reinvigorate our heritage buildings, provide new green spaces and embed this museum at the heart of the community.
By celebrating the past, present and future of railways and engineering, we will capture the hearts and minds of the next generation of engineers, innovators and thinkers
