Based at Heckington Station, the museum has three rooms, with one containing photos and memorabilia, and the other two model railway layouts, including one of Heckington Station.

The museum opens on bank holiday weekends, and also for private groups.

Andy said: “All would love to see this valuable village asset continue to function, especially now with the redevelopment of Heckington Windmill.”

The museum is open this Sunday, April 30, and Monday, May 1, from noon to 5pm.

Entry is priced at £1 and free for accompanying children.
