Welcome to the Railway and Mining Museum of Oignies
Welcome to the Railway and Mining Museum of Oignies
We are situated about 90 minutes drive from Calais. We are open to the public on the afternoon of the second Sunday of the month in the warmer months. You will need the dates we are open, the access plan and tarifs
Each year we have a 2 day festival of steam which is open to the public. Bring a child as an excuse for riding on our miniature steam trains. Adults also permitted! The "small gauge" layouts will all be in operation. If you want to talk to fellow enthusiasts, you will find several able to speak English. If you enjoy engineering then come and look around our extensive workshops and see the projects which are underway. Visit the mine simulation and the main-line locomotives. You will need the access plan and tarifs
A guided visit can be tailored to your interests e.g. small scale models, steaming a small engine, a tour around the main line steam exhibits, visit to the simulated mine. Please let us know (via the Mairie) your interests, numbers and dates and we will respond to you with what we can offer for those dates.
Our small association is run by a management committee with representation from each of the three sections, small scale (e.g. table top modelling), "live steam" 5 and 7 1/4 inch gauge and standard gauge locomotives.
If you need further information or indeed wish to join the association, then you can
contact us for further information.
