There are also 4,444 catalogued entries (not all digitised) associated with Using the railways (postcards, tickets, passes, labels, toys, etc) which can be limited by category and railway.

Users are invited to upload their own images to a Flickr site associated with the Museum.

There is also a fasinating blog about the work of the Museum -  from library and archive collections, to railway vehicle collections or conservation. I particularly enjoyed reading the blog by Lorna Frost about the conservation of paintings for the recent Art in Advertising exhibition.

The Museum is represented on many social media: YouTube, Twitter, Flicker, Facebook and Delicious.
