Just so there's no mistake, the RF&P coaches, the C&O tender, and the other rolling stock pictured in the "Photos" section of the ODC website are NOT at the Museum site, they're in a storage yard owned by the Old Dominion Chapter of the NRHS in Chesterfield County, a number of miles away.
The yard is only opened to the public on certain occasions.
Thanks for the suggestion, Wayne. Those RF&P betterment coaches and the C&O tender caught my attention!

...if you're traveling north or south on Route 95 and passing Richmond Va on a Saturday or Sunday.
It's the Richmond Railroad Museum! A beautifully restored 1915 Southern Railway Station, easy to find and with plenty of parking.
The've got some great artefacts on display, a fun gift shop, and an impressive HO layout with various scenes of Richmond.
The website tells the story better than I can.
