As promised some more photos from around Didcot Railway Center
The is the view of the place you get when you come in, the track here leads to that water tower

This is the one thing I wanted to see, its part of Brunel's Atmospheric Railway. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be

The sign is from a local station of the now demolished Didcot to Newbury line. The station building this came from is still there. Ironically in a place called Beacham Close named after the person who closed down the line. Can't think why the council would call it after some one who cut them off

Those are great pictures.
Fabulous photos.
I would like to have been with you on this tour.
How glorious! Ta!!
Wishing you well.
It looks lovely! It reminds me of the GWSR in Gloucestershire, which runs from Cheltenham Racecourse through Winchcombe and Toddington to Broadway.
A real treat, thank you Bill!
This feels so oldy worldy - what a wonderful trip! Thank you for sharing and for linking up with #MySundaySnapshot.
