I'm a train nut and a history buff, so this was perfect for me. The museum has plenty of things to see and touch from the history of the railway, which still operates, and there are locomotives and other pieces outside to see too. Dixon was a fabulous guide and very informative about the railway's history and the items on display. The museum is located on the top floor of the original German station building, close to the centre of town

From the outside view, the Trans-Namib Railroad Museum gave me a quick throw back to the colonial times even without accessing the inside information. The display of the assets in itself is attractive and speaks volumes. History is well preserved here. I was at pains to see the Desert Express parked, locked up at the old platform, and languishing in heat unattended to. Trans-Namib, please bring this jewel back to life. In our visit to Windhoek, we were hoping to catch a ride.

Museum with focus on trains but there are also a lot of aircraft related objects. Several old train wagons outside and inside there are many objects from the train. Very interesting. The only minus was the heat- there is no air conditioning inside but were good at cooling down as best they could. Friendly staff, there are fun souvenirs for sale. Worth a visit.
