The Engine Shed Museum sits in a former Midland Railway goods warehouse next to the Keighley and Worth Valley heritage railway. It was previously called Ingrow Loco and is run by the Bahamas Locomotive Society. Visitors follow a numbered route through the exhibits, which cover railway history, the hobbies of trainspotting, model railways and railway photography, and the people who built and worked steam engines. The centrepiece is a pair of restored locomotives on the first floor, and a balcony window looks down into the working workshop where engines are being overhauled. A collection of locomotive nameplates and numberplates is also on show. The museum suits children interested in trains and steam, and older family members who enjoy railway history. It is a short walk from the heritage line's Ingrow station, so it pairs well with a train ride.
