The National Railway Museum (NRMThe Railway Museum, formerly the National Railway Museum) is a museum which sets out to tell the story of rail transport in Britain and its social impact. It is part of the Science Musuem Group, which includes the Science Museum in London and 'Locomotion' in Shildon, County Durham. It operates the Railway Heritage Committee that selects important items for collection, and purchases important material offered for sale.

It is the home of the national collection of historically significant railway vehicles, some of which have visited the SVRSevern Valley Railway for a period, including locomotive 45000 and some which remain resident. An example being GWR Restaurant Third 9653.
