What’s at The Engine House? The Engine House is a short walk from Highley Station, and it’s where you can get up-close-and-personal with some very special locomotives. Check out the impressive blue-liveried LMR 600 ‘Gordon’, as well as LMS Stanier 8F 48773, which had a famous encounter with a camel in World War II, and many more full-size, out-of-service engines.
