		The NRM was established on its present site in 1975, when it took over the former British Railways Collection located in Clapham, and the York Railway Museum located elsewhere in the city, since then the collection has continued to grow.
		All items of rolling stock exhibited either ran on the railways of Great Britain or were built there, with the single exception of a Japanese "Series 0" Shinkansen bullet train leading vehicle, which was donated to the NRM by the JR West railway company in 2001 and which now forms part of an award-winning display.
