The One:One Collection: Kent’s new railway attraction in the making

Join The One:One Collection on its most exciting journey yet, as we bring some of the most iconic and historically important UK railway locomotives and rolling stock to their new home on the Hornby site in Margate, Kent.

In The One:One Collection, the stars of the show aren’t scale models, but the real thing – iconic locomotives, rolling stock, maintenance vehicles and memorabilia – 1:1 scale and up close. The collection’s new home isn’t yet fully open to the public, but now you can get on board, follow its progress, and learn about opportunities to be among the first to see the collection as it arrives.

Explore the exciting plans for The One:One Collection visitor attraction

Work is underway, but if you’re keen to see how the collection’s new home might look, you can download the master plan here:

Design and Access Statement

The One:One Collection gets the green light

The One:One Collection Museum gets the green light

We’re thrilled that in January 2021, Thanet District Council granted our planning permission application, giving us the go-ahead to transform the 130,000sq foot former Hornby Warehouse in Margate, Kent, into a brand new visitor attraction.

The application was developed together with Haptic Architects, who have been working with us since the beginning of 2020. Their exciting ideas for this evolving project captured the imagination of the Planning team, who agreed that the new attraction and facilities would have benefits to the community and have the potential to bring economic benefits to the area.

Haptic’s ideas include transforming the building’s fascia to include wall displays which give you a sense of what the collection is about from the moment you arrive, then take you on a fascinating journey into the world of locomotive engineering.

You’ll have to wait a little longer to see inside, though. Work has been underway since 2019, and continues. An opening date is yet to be announced, but we’ll be updating you here and on our Facebook page when we have news, so keep an eye out for announcements.

We’d like to thank Thanet District Council, the Turner Contemporary and Thanet MPs Sir Roger Gale and Craig Mackinlay for their support.

Keep in touch with us on our Facebook page for more news.

A new home for an historic railway collection.

The One:One Collection currently includes over 20 steam and diesel locomotives, as well as coaches, rolling stock and memorabilia and large-scale models. They’ve been housed all over the UK, stored or undergoing renovation and conservation, with several still out and about on the rail network as part of heritage tours. But until now, they haven’t had a permanent home where they will be seen and enjoyed by members of the public.

Although The One:One Collection’s home is still in development, some of the collection has already moved in, and we’re expecting new arrivals all the time. See what’s on- and off-site.
