The museum will be welcoming Santa and his significant other, Mrs Claus later this month as progress on restoring the museum’s operations continues.
Museum Chairman Peter Meddows said that Santa’s arrival would represent a great day out for the whole family.
“Our visitors will arrive by train at noon. Santa will then be available to hear from young visitors about their wishes for Christmas,” Mr Meddows said.
“Families are most welcome to photograph their children with Santa. We will also be offering shuttle rides on our full-sized train, as well as miniature train rides throughout the day.”
Mr Meddows added that aside from all of the Yuletide fun, the museum would be open showing off an array of historic memorabilia.
Exhibitions within the museum will include, rail artifacts, images and videos and there will also be some special Christmas-themed displays on the day.
