Come along to one of our open days and meet like minded people. Take a look around our centre. Browse the second hand railway books for sale in the G.W.R. Banana Van all at £2 each. Follow the progress of the Bishop`s Castle Station circa 1932 OO gauge layout.
We hold a comprehensive collection of photographs and information about the Bishop`s Castle Railway. Take a look around our museum, talk to the volunteers, learn how the coming of the railway changed the lives of a small rural community.
If you like what you see, consider supporting us to continue taking on new projects and providing a place for everyone to meet.
