BUCKINGHAMSHIRE RAILWAY CENTRE

'Buckinghamshire Railway Centre' is a railway museum operated by the Quainton Railway Society Ltd. at Quainton Road railway station, in the far depths of "Metro-land", about 5 miles (8 Km) west of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire.
The site is divided into two halves which are joined by two foot-bridges, one of which provides wheelchair access. Each side has a demonstration line with various workshop buildings as well as museum buildings. Separating the two halves is a Network Rail goods line, formerly the mainline used by the Great Central Railway and the Metropolitan Railway via the Metropolitan and Great Central Railways Joint Committee.
At the north-west corner of the site are the terminal buildings of 1851 from Oxford Rewley Road railway station transplanted here in 2002 to serve as reception, visitor centre and display building.
The museum has a large collection of locomotives and rolling stock, details of a few of which are given below:-
