6-August 25 – Snappers visit Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Quainton

With the sun shining it was a great morning to visit this working steam museum and heritage railway based in the village of Quainton. The site occupies an extensive 25-acre site in the rolling countryside of Buckinghamshire.

The London Railway Preservation Society, formed in 1962, arrived here in 1969 to set up its permanent home. Since those early days both yards have been redeveloped to house around 170 items of locomotives and rolling stock and an adjacent Second World War Ministry of Food Buffer Depot has been taken over to display many items awaiting their turn in the restoration queue.
