Didcot Railway Centre is the home of the Great Western
Society. It is accessed through the booking hall and subway at Didcot railway
station, because the site is surrounded by a triangle of railway lines.
The old sheds [81E] closed in 1965 and the GWS took over
in 1967. It is a major centre for all things Great Western, including an
impressive collection of locomotives and rolling stock as well as two
demonstration tracks. The full programme of activities and events can be found
on their website at http://www.didcotrailwaycentre.org.uk/
Our first visit there was in October 1977, which is when
these photos were taken.
