The National Railway Museum is based in York and has the largest collection of British steam ever. It owns over 50 locomotives and loans working engines to preserved railways. Famous engines that it owns are A4 60022 "Mallard" who set the world speed record for steam, V2 60800 "Green Arrow", 9F 92220 "Evening Star" and 8P 46229 "Duchess of Hamilton. The railway is now free to get in under a new law passed by government. It is more than one days worth of visiting due to largeness of the museum but should definitely be given ten out of ten.
