Since the Quainton Railway Society set up base at Quainton 69 locomotives have arrived, 32 have departed to other bases and of these, one has returned to Quainton. Space and a lack of material precluded me from featuring all of these locos. I have therefore featured those for which I have obtained good quality, interesting, photographs. Tony Lyster comprehensively detailed the movement of carriage and wagon stock in and out of the collection in the last edition of QN.
