I can't trust my memory as I was quite young at the time, and for some reason thought there was more than one locomotive...

Going by the brochure map posted by ghYHZ, which appears to not have been accurately drawn, I would estimate the museum's location to be approximately where I drew the red rectangle on the map below. I'm hoping I will find an aerial shot sometime with the rail artifacts in place that will show without a doubt...



What isn't abundantly clear, however, is where there would be enough room between "Simpsons Lane" and the tracks to house the museum.
