The experimantal APT-E high speed train on show at the Shildon branch of the National Railway Museum. The APT-E (Advanced Passenger Train Experimental), was the prototype tilting train unit. It was powered by gas turbines, the only multiple unit so powered used by British Rail. Built between 1970-1972, it was used for testing until 1976. A test carried out on the Great Western Main Line, saw it achieve a new British railway speed record on 10 August 1975 when it reached 152.3 mph between Swindon and Reading. It was only ever intended as a test train as part of the high speed tilting train technology development project. It is now on display at the Locomotion museum at Shildon, near Darlington.

U.S. Navy 14” Naval Railway Battery MK1. The Allies had a problem. Germany had better long range artillery than the British and the French. They were using that advantage to bombard Paris, to terrorize French civilians, and to attack the key French port of Dunkirk. The Navy decided to help redress this imbalance by sending Naval Railway Guns. U.S. Army General John J. Pershing said of the guns, “…our large caliber guns had advanced and were skillfully brought into position to fire upon the important lanes. We had cut the enemy’s main line of communications and nothing but surrender or an armistice could save him from the batteries.” Following the Armistice, the Naval Railway Guns were returned to the United States where one an be viewed in Willard Park next to the National Museum of the U.S. Navy.
