I have always been interested in Steam Trains and enjoy visiting preserved historical railways and also the small park railways, which are found all over the country.
I am a member of two railway societies which encompasses both these two types.
The LBNGR is a preserved industrial heritage railway on the 2 foot narrow gauge scale.
It was owned a major local industrialist in Bedfordshire and used to quarry the extensive and valuable sand resources around Bletchley and Leighton Buzzard.
The railway network of which LBNGR was a part, fed the British mainline standard gauge railways at Pages Park depot near Leighton Buzzard and also the canal systems nearby.
The railway now runs as a volunteer-managed heritage museum with some
immaculately restored locos, one even dating back over 120 years, which
are still pulling happy passengers through the urban and rural landscape
of this beautiful part of central England.
