Scottish Vintage Bus Museum

English: The Scottish Vintage Bus Museum (www.svbm.org.uk) is a bus museum in the M90 Commerce Park in Fife, Scotland, in part of the former Royal Navy Stores depot (Lathalmond), closed in 1993. Having been established in 1986 on a site in Whitburn, West Lothian, the museum moved to Fife in 1995. The museum covers nearly half the former stores site and includes many of its former sheds, while the remainder consists of the commercial uses of the M90 park. The stores railway is also being rebuilt.

Railway

The Navy Stores had its own internal railway, latterly run using two diesel shunters housed on site in their own shed (No. 47). Mainline access was via the west of the site, where the internal railway met the Steelend branch from Dunfermline. The branch and internal railway were closed in 1971 and dismantled, although the engine shed and a small amount of rails remained. A year after the bus museum opened the Shed 47 Railway Restoration Group was founded, and began using the engine shed to restore engines and wagons. Latterly, they have also begun rebuilding a small railway loosely based on the former internal system, with associated infrastructure, including constructing an additional, larger railway shed.
