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 15th August 2024 at 7:30pm. when Martin Stoolman will be talking about the "Student Life and Trains in the Mid-70's".

In the mid 1970s Exeter was still a mecca for semaphore signals along with the last remaining Western diesel hydraulics.Perhaps it was this rather than the course that tempted Martin to study at Exeter University from 1974 to 1977. This is his story about what he got up to....

• Well, I think one of those is my signal !!!!
