Ruddington Fields Depot
Discover our collection of heritage locomotives, rolling stock and historic buses — all preserved and maintained by dedicated volunteers
The Collection
Our depot at Ruddington Fields is home to a remarkable collection of heritage vehicles — some ready for action on the line, others awaiting their turn for restoration. Together they span over a century of British railway and road transport history.
Besides the railway's own vehicles, we welcome private owners and preservation societies dedicated to the upkeep of vehicles with special historical significance. Every vehicle here has a story, and our volunteers work tirelessly to ensure those stories are preserved for future generations.
What You'll Find Here
Historic steam engines including the LNER Thompson B1 Class and WD Austerity locomotives, preserved and maintained in our workshops by a dedicated team of volunteer engineers.
Class 03, 08, 20, 31 and 37 diesel locomotives, plus a Class 107 Derby Lightweight DMU set — representing the transition from steam to diesel on British railways.
The Nottingham Area Bus Society's collection of NCT, Barton and historic buses from across Nottinghamshire, housed in our dedicated road transport building.
