The Birmingham Railway Museum Trust in Birmingham, England operates two subsidiaries: Tyseley Locomotive Works and Vintage Trains. The latter exists to run standard gauge trains in the area, particularly to Stratford-upon-Avon.

The museum was also previously used as a base of operations for Fragonset Railways.
