context_page_description: The Pallot Heritage Steam Museum is a mechanical heritage museum located in Rue De Bechet in the Parish of Trinity on the island of Jersey.
context_section_description: A 4 ft 8 ¹⁄₂ in (1,435 mm) standard gauge railway operates around the perimeter of the museum site. A Victorian style station was re-constructed using surviving elements of Snow Hill railway station, St Helier, and officially opened on Liberation Day 1996 by Senator Dick Shenton. More recently a lean-to shed has been constructed over the main running line, and adjacent to the exhibition hall, to house the standard gauge service train. The railway usually operates on Thursdays when the museum is open, and visitors are able to purchase travel tickets to ride on the train. A ride consists of two circuits of the railway, and the duration of the journey is approximately ten minutes. Passengers are conveyed in two restored Victorian railway carriages, originally built and operated by the North London Railway in England. The two carriages were discovered at Stratford and were transferred to the Pallot museum in 1989 for restoration. Their original wheels had not survived, but were replaced from the Woodham Brothers scrapyard at Barry Docks in Wales.
  The museum owns five standard gauge locomotives. One diesel shunting engine is stored out of use, awaiting restoration. Two steam locomotives are housed as museum exhibits, but are not suitable for use on the railway, owing to its tight radius curves. These engines are
  0-6-0T "La Meuse", built in Belgium in 1931, with outside cylinders and Walschaerts valve gear.
  0-4-0ST "Foleshill", built in Bristol, England, by Peckett and Sons, works number 2085, in 1948.
  The other two steam locomotives are available for use on the demonstration railway, and are:
  0-4-0ST "Kestrel", built at Bristol, England, by Peckett and Sons, works number 2129, in 1952.
  0-4-0ST "J T Daly", built at Stafford, England, by W.G. Bagnall, works number 2450, in 1931.
  "Kestrel" is currently the main locomotive operating the demonstration railway. "J T Daly" previously operated on the Foxfield Light Railway and the Alderney Railway before coming to the Pallot Museum in 1993. Following restoration the locomotive operated the demonstration railway for several years, but is now awaiting overhaul and renewal of the boiler ticket.
