This guidebook is intended to complement a visit to the museum. It contains details of opening times and of how to obtain up to date information on Society activities.

“It must surely be the best guide to any preserved railway centre of any sort, anywhere. It's just wonderful. You have included such a fabulous selection of pictures past and present, encompassing so many people as well as every aspect of the trains, etc. Hope it sells a million, it certainly deserves to.” - Michael H.C.
