York – day two

We returned to York on a rainy and overcast morning. This was perfect as all of our activities were inside!

First stop was the Railway Museum (you would have loved this Robin!). This was very large and included full-size trains, models, and all the paraphernalia that goes with trains! There was even a precursor to the Japanese bullet train which you could go enter. You could really see how this was modelled on the aeroplane design.

The largest locomotive in the collection – KF7
Just in case you’re interested……..
The inside of the precursor to the Japanese bullet trains – the Shinkansen
The Mallard
The Mallard. The worlds fastest steam locomotive, unbeaten since it set the world speed record in 1938

Next stop was the castle Musuem

Very realistic dog!
In the driving seat!

And finally…….’Jorkvic’ – a Museum explaining the early Viking influence in York – read all about this on the next post!
