Without trained loco crew our collection are merely museum exhibits. Despite the dirt, heat, cold, early starts and temperamental machinery it is heartening to see that so many from the class of 85 are still actively engaged at Quainton.

Notes:
The text in this Quainton Railway Society publication was written in 2007 and so does not reflect events in the 7+ 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.
