Renewals of subscriptions have come in at a steady rate but there are still some ex-members who must have overlooked their annual exercise of making their dues over to Anthea Hanscomb. All these lost souls have had at least two reminders so now it is up to personal contact if you know of their identity. We are all very grateful indeed to those who have most generously sent donations in addition to their subscriptions. £74 sent in this way has made possible the payment of the transport costs of the four vans from Bicester. In the west yard the ex GW 47683 is for Depot use, ex Midland 47251 is for the Signals lads and ex LSWR 47253 is a store for the Carriage and Wagon team. So almost everyone has benefited by these additional contributions to the funds.

The text in this Quainton Railway Society publication was written in 1972 and so does not reflect events in the 40+ years since publication. The text and photographs are repeated verbatim from the original publication, with only a few minor grammar changes but some clarifying notes are added if deemed necessary. The photos from the original publication are provided as scans in this internet version of this long out of print publication.
