Showing Aylesbury LNWR at Quainton
The iconic Aylesbury LNWR layout can be seen most weekends over the summer at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre at Quainton. Please check our Facebook page for dates (R&DMRC Facebook). To find it, go into the museum and then to Platform 3 where you'll find a coach containing the layout. Operators from the club will be on hand to show you the model, run trains and answer questions. Bob Williams' book on the layout will be available to purchase.
