I was one of the members of the miniature railway club and like everyone else was very saddened when the eviction notice came through. We got the notice on the week of our club's 75th Anniversary in 2019 and it is something that non of us would have wanted to have been told during then. We tried everything to prevent our club from closing with public backing, but the head of museums of Northern Ireland just ignored our pleas and so our last ever running day was in June 2021. I filmed our last running day, which you can find only channel. But what became of the tracks is another story. The raised tracks that used to be there were moved to Drumawhey's site, but what became of the ground level tracks? Well I can say that I am now the owner of those tracks and I'm planning a small line of my own which will hopefully keep the spirit of the old line alive.
Thank you for watching! Such a shame the railway had to close. I remember being shown the track on a previous visit. I'll look out for the video on your channel. Good luck with building your next railway.
I have been there myself in 2012 when they held a Titanic Centenary exhibition. Fantastic place and it's lovely to see it all again on your well structured video.
Amazing visit Henry! I haven't visited for over 10 years and I see they have lots of great railway exhibits that weren't there the last time. I really like the Ulster Transport Museum - I'll have to go back. I love the amount and range of exhibits there. I find that some major museums (like the Riverside Museum in Glasgow and the London Transport Museum) have fewer exhibits than they used to and are seem to be aiming more at general visitors than people who are especially interested in transport, sometimes with more of a focus on social history than on the exhibits themselves. (Not that I don't like social history right enough - I did history at university!!) Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much for watching! I agree with what you're saying on how some museums seem to be aiming at general visitors, the NRM in my opinion is another one which is doing that. I do really like this museum, my only disappointment is the miniature railway has gone.
Mm that big Irish steam loco (built in Inchicore works nr Dublin) and called Maebh (pronounced "mayve" in Irish) is the sole remainder of 3. The others were Tailte and Macha and they were the most powerful steam locos ever built to run (then for GSR: Great Southern Railways) in the south. GSR later became CIE and later still, and as it is now :Iarnrod Eireann/Irish Rail.
The 2ft gauge railway was briefly run in the 1970s, at the lower galleries there is still is a dead end path off to the right which used to led to the station. Was just a simple loop for museum guests to have an operational train exhibit. The Diesel engine used now sits in the main rail gallery. Museum budget cuts mixed with poor ground & construction quality meant it was quickly abandoned sadly.
Thank you for watching! In a museum with this many exhibits it's simply not possible to mention all of them or if I did the video would be a couple of hours long.
The miniature railway was disgracefully evicted by the museum after having been an asset for over 40 years. It has amalgamated with another club at Drumawhey near Bangor and there is now a large miniature railway of various gauges and other facilities which are open to the public during the Spring and Summer months.

SEE YOU
👋🏻👋👋🏽
Thank you very much! :)
Have you been to the depot/works just north of Yorkgate station, where they store the Enterprise?
No, but I've passed it on the train a few times.
Mm that big Irish steam loco (built in Inchicore works nr Dublin) and called Maebh (pronounced "mayve" in Irish) is the sole remainder of 3.

Thank you for joining me! It would be great to see Maebh running again!

Thank you for the info. Shame that 2' gauge line and now the miniature railway has closed.
WOW! At 28:26 you passed an Amphicar and didn't even mention it!
Thank you for watching! In a museum with this many exhibits it's simply not possible to mention all of them or if I did the video would be a couple of hours long.
I went there last week
Thank you for watching! I hope you enjoyed your visit.
Hope we see the DeLorean!
You'll have to wait and see!

Such as shame the miniature railway was evited. I'd love to visit Drumawhey Junction in the future.
