About Tyseley Locomotive Works
& Visitor Centre

Tyseley Locomotive Works is the engineering subsidiary of the Birmingham Railway Museum Trust, which is a registered educational charity. 

The Trust was established to preserve and demonstrate the steam locomotives in the Tyseley collection.  And where better than on the main line - where they were designed to operate!

Tyseley Locomotive Works has a well equipped workshop, which maintains steam & diesel locomotives and coaches to Network Rail standards.

The Tyseley Collection of Locomotives comprises three GWR Castle class engines, an LMS Jubilee, GWR Hall, three GWR pannier tanks, a class 47 diesel, an 0-6-0 diesel-shunter and a range of industrial engines.  Usually there are several visiting locos at the Works for overhaul, repairs, maintenance or just stabling, such as two GWR Halls, two GWR prairie tanks plus a number of classic modern traction locos.
