Representatives from wagon groups at a number of heritage railways came together at the Great Central Railway’s (GCR) Quorn & Woodhouse station on October 22/23 when the GCR’s award-winning Quorn Wagon & Wagon (QWW) team hosted an open event. Over the last few years, volunteers from QWW have restored an impressive and varied fleet of heritage goods wagons which are operated by the railway during galas, events and photo charters.
The group decided it was time to showcase a selection of the restored wagons to enable members of the public to see them close up and find out about their history, restoration and their importance in preservation – and to meet the volunteers.
