In 1968, the London Railway Preservation Society chose Quainton Road as it's new base. Renamed as the Quainton Railway Society these early beginnings have grown into the 25acre site you see today.

The well established Buckinghamshire Railway Centre is one of the leading steam museums in the country - the Collection includes many steam, diesel locomotives together with other forms of motive power, including Metropolitan No.1 and the Beattie Well Tank. There is also rolling stock from the 1870's through to the 1970's. Two gems in the Collection are the 1901 coach used latterly in the Royal Train together with a specially converted vehicle from 1943 used as a mobile meeting room by Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower.
