Mangapps Railway Museum is a privately owned working railway and museum established on a farm at Burnham on Crouch, Essex. It features a ¾ mile standard gauge passenger carrying line, with restored stations, signal boxes and ancillary equipment removed from various sites throughout East Anglia and beyond. To operate the line the Railway has 18 steam and diesel locomotives and over 80 carriages and wagons, some of considerable historic and technical interest.
To complement the working Railway, the Museum has a collection of smaller railway relics which is one of the largest of its kind in Britain. This collection contains historic items connected with every aspect of railway operation and has a particular bias towards the railways of East Anglia and Railway signalling - in fact the signalling collection is believed to be the largest on public display in Britain.
The Railway and Museum are owned and operated by the Jolly family assisted by a dedicated staff of volunteers.

31430 is named after Dorothy Wyndlow Pattison who was the eleventh of twelve children of Rev Mark James Pattison and his wife, Jane. In the autumn of 1864, she joined the Sisterhood of the Good Samaritans at Coatham, Middlesbrough, and became known as Sister Dora. She would devote the remainder of her life to nursing. She was sent to work at Walsall's hospital in Bridge Street and arrived in Walsall on 8 January 1865. The rest of her life was spent in Walsall. She worked at the Cottage Hospital at The Mount until 1875, when Walsall was hit by smallpox. She worked for six months at an epidemic infirmary set up in Deadman's Lane (now Hospital Street), treating thousands of patients. During the last two years of her life, she worked at the hospital in Bridgeman Street, overlooking the South Staffordshire Railway (later the London and North Western Railway). She developed a special bond of friendship with railway workers who often suffered in industrial accidents. The railwaymen gave her a pony and a carriage and even raised the sum of £50 from their own wages to enable her to visit housebound patients more easily

47579 is named after railwayman James William Nightall GC (1922 - 1944) was posthumously awarded the George Cross for the gallantry he showed during the Soham rail disaster. Nightall was a LNER Fireman on a fifty-one wagon ammunition train driven by Benjamin Gimbert. When the wagon caught fire, Nightall helped Gimbert uncouple it from the rest of the train. The wagon exploded, killing Nightall instantly. The explosion blew a twenty-foot crater in the track, destroyed Soham railway station and damaged 600 buildings in the village. Gimbert, who miraculously survived the conflagration, was also awarded the George Cross.

Mangapps Railway Museum August Gala - Sunday 26th August 2018
On Sunday 26th August, I decided to head to Burnham-on-Crouch for Mangapps Railway Museum's Bank Holiday Gala and, even though the line is less than a mile return, I was pleasantly surprised! There was a large variety of locos and rolling stock (including the only caboose in Europe, recently-restored 03399 and their steam loco 'Fambridge') running on two routes, each every half hour and one taking around 6 minutes for a return trip and the other around 12. This was on top of the amazing items in the main part of the farm, the museum! Enjoy!
Mangapps Railway Museum
A quick look around Mangapps Railway Museum. On this day there were two trains offering driver-experiences. One was a blue Class 03 Diesel, the other a black Barclay steam loco RFO8 No 8.
We also see some of the set pieces such as the waiting area, and station master's office. Also there are various signals, signs and other items on display. Outside wagons, crane, and a Signal Box. Inside we see an Underground train. Plenty to keep you interested.
This is a privately owned collection, now open to the public. John Jolly the owner makes a brief appearance riding on the yellow Canadian Caboose that they have.

Burnham-on-Crouch is a town and civil parish in the Maldon District of Essex in the East of England. It lies on the north bank of the River Crouch. It is one of Britain's leading places for yachting. The civil parish extends 5 miles (8 km) east of the town to the mouth of the River Crouch. It includes the hamlets of Creeksea and Ostend west of the town, Stoneyhills to the north and Dammer Wick, West Wick and East Wick east of the town.
Historically, it has benefited from its location on the coast – first as a ferry port, :119 later as a fishing port known for its oyster beds, and most recently as a centre for yachting. :132 There are many listed buildings in the town, including the Grade II* listed Royal Corinthian Yacht Club designed in 1931 by the modernist architect Joseph Emberton. The Mangapps Railway Museum is located nearby.
There are many pubs in Burnham-on-Crouch featuring (from top to bottom) New Welcome Sailor, Oyster Smack, The Star, The Queen's Head, The Old White Hart Hotel, The Anchor, The Ship, The Victoria Inn.

In view of the town's comparatively isolated position – 20 miles from Chelmsford (the nearest large town) – Burnham-on-Crouch railway station represents a vital transport link. The station is situated on a single-line branch from Wickford, which escaped closure in the 1960s by Beeching, as it was used to supply the nearby Bradwell nuclear power station. The branch line was electrified in the 1980s, and provides off-peak services to Wickford with direct services to and from London Liverpool Street during rush hour, thus allowing the town's inclusion in the London commuter belt.
Burnham-on-Crouch holds a bi-annual charity fund-raising pub crawl, an event which first took place in June 2007. Typically more than 100 local people walk through the town in themed fancy dress raising money for The Samaritans. There is both a summer and winter edition of the crawl.
The town has two community-based magazines, the larger of the two is The Burnham on Crouch and Dengie Focus which is delivered to every house and business in Burnham and Southminster and can be picked up from collection points throughout Dengie. The other is the Burnham and Dengie Hundred Review, it is smaller in size, A5 and is delivered free across the Dengie.

Burnham on Crouch
SEE MY TRAVEL GROUP ON FACEBOOK :
Burnham on Crouch is located on the north side of the Crouch river - quite close to London although one would not think so being there. It has benefited from its location on the coast - first as a ferry port, later as a fishing port known for its oyster beds, and most recently as a centre for yachting. There are many listed buildings in the town, including the Grade II* listed Royal Corinthian Yacht Club designed in 1931 by the modernist architect Joseph Emberton. The Mangapps Railway Museum is located nearby.
Although the town has a population of little over 7,500, it is the principal settlement in the wider Dengie peninsula area (population 20,000).
My channel on you tube : is one of the most prolific from Poland. I have produced around 1,800 original films, most in English. My big interest in life is travel and history but I have also placed films on other subjects.
Please feel free to ask questions in the public area or to comment on things you disagree with. Sometimes there are mistakes because I speak without preparation. If I see the mistakes myself, I make this clear in the text. Please also leave a star rating!
There are a number of films here on the packaging industry. This is because I am the publisher of Central and Eastern European Packaging -- - the international platform for the packaging industry in this region focusing on the latest innovations, trends, design, branding, legislation and environmental issues with in-depth profiles of major industry achievers.
Most people may think packaging pretty boring but it possibly effects your life more than you really imagine!
Central and Eastern European Packaging examines the packaging industry throughout this region, but in particular in the largest regional economies which are Russia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine and Austria. That is not to say that the other countries are forgotten, they are not, but obviously there is less going on. However the fact that there are so many travel related films here is not from holidays but from business trips attending trade fairs around the region. Every packaging trade fair is a new excuse to make another film!
