Hi welcome,

In west London you can watch modern express trains going out of Euston at many places. I used to go to Willesden Junction in my train spotting days. It might be more difficult to get on the platforms now, perhaps another member can advise on that.

St. Pancras is a must see place, to me its amazing to observe how its restored and you can see the hi speed trains from the high level section for free. ( You can't go on the platforms unless you are travelling though.

There are some fairly modern exhibits at the National Railway Museum in York, but its mostly from an earlier age, but they do have some very good interactive exhibits especially for children.

Good things in the Science Museum in London too.
