About North Ings Farm Museum

The 2ft gauge railway was first installed in 1971 to serve the chicken farm, handling feed, eggs and waste from cleaning of the sheds. Although the poultry business closed in 1981, the original locomotive and wagons are still used around the farm, and have been joined by six other industrial diesel locomotives, and a steam tram engine. The line has been extended over the years and now forms a circuit of 1/3 mile.
A passenger train provides visitors with a trip on the railway, and includes a coach with facilities for the disabled.
The museum has a range of tractors mostly dating from the 1940s and 50s. They are kept in working order and are used for tasks around the museum grounds and attend vintage rallies.
There are a number of oil engines ranging from small 'barn engines' used around the farm to a large industrial Ruston 6HXR weighing 5 tons from a local engineering works.
