List of rolling stock items in the UK National Collection

The UK National Collection is a collection of around 280 historic rail vehicles (predominantly of British origin). The majority of the collection is kept at four national museums:

• National Railway Museum, York
• Locomotion, Shildon
• Science Museum, Kensington, London
• Science and Industry Museum, Manchester

Other items are on short or long-term loans to museums and heritage railways such as the Museum of the Great Western Railway at Swindon and the Head of Steam museum at Darlington.
