The UK National Collection is a collection of around 280 historic rail vehicles (predominantly of British origin). The majority of the collection is kept at four national museums: National Railway Museum, York Locomotion, Shildon Science Museum, Kensington, London Science and Industry Museum, Manchester Other items are on short or long-term loans to museums and heritage railways such as the Museum of the Great Western Railway at Swindon and the Head of Steam museum at Darlington.
