Founded in 1977, we are a group of railway enthusiasts based in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, and with members from the surrounding districts, including High Wycombe, Bourne End, Henley, Maidenhead, Twyford, Reading and Wokingham. Our activities include regular monthly meetings at the Bourne End Community Centre and outings to places of railway interest (see the club gallery pages for some examples). We also publish our own illustrated magazine The Marlow Donkey. Meetings are open to non-members, but why not join us?

Our next public meeting will be on Thursday 16th May 2024 at 7:30pm. when Richard Crane will present "Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire Branch Lines".

Richard will be reviewing past and present branch lines in these counties contrasting long forgotten scenes of a pre-Beeching steam railway with the much changed situation on the few surviving branch lines.
