How do you move an enormous tram from 1901? | Behind the Scenes

Follow
National Railway Museum

Since its construction was completed in 2021, a great many objects from the Science Museum Group's collection have been moved to Building One at the Science and Innovation Park in Wroughton, Swindon.

Some are more complex to move than others.

Join us as we follow the action when our 1901 Glasgow tram is moved from an old hangar on the site previously known as the National Collections Centre into the new collections facility. Standing 5.5 metres tall and weighing in at 16 tons, some specialist equipment will be needed.
