Didcot Railway Centre

 

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

Rebuilt station waiting room, the people were waiting for  a train ride

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

That's it for now, I'll sow more another time. I hope to go aback again to get more photos

  3. It looks lovely! It reminds me of the GWSR in Gloucestershire, which runs from Cheltenham Racecourse through Winchcombe and Toddington to Broadway.
