Welcome to The Friends of the National Railway Museum
About us
The Friends of the National Railway Museum is a charity, number 273829. FNRM was formed in 1977 to support the National Railway Museum. We help to fund the restoration of exhibits in the National Collection, the acquisition of new artefacts, and other projects that would otherwise not be possible.
We support and promote research and educational projects relating to the history and development of railways. Over the last 40 years, the Friends of the National Railway Museum have raised over £2m in support of the museum.
The Friends are based in our own office at the Railway Museum in York with a North East branch at Locomotion and a group in the South of England.
“The Friends of the National Railway Museum play an important role in both history and the future of the museum. Since 1977 they have championed our work and impact, from funding the restoration of internationally important locomotives, helping to acquire historical objects and supporting major masterplan projects such as the Station Hall refurbishment. I would encourage anyone interested in the railways and inspiring future generations to consider joining the Friends, and contributing to the wider success of our incredible museum.”
Craig Bentley, Director National Railway Museum
