Didcot Railway Centre, Railway museum in Didcot, England.
The Didcot Railway Centre extends across 21 acres, featuring historic locomotives, original railway buildings, and functional steam train tracks for demonstrations.
The Great Western Railway constructed the first rail line through Didcot in 1839, establishing it as a critical maintenance point between London and Bristol.
The Great Western Society maintains a collection of 200 years of railway heritage, supported by 4,000 members and 250 active volunteers.
Visitors access the center through Didcot Parkway station, with steam train demonstrations occurring on designated days throughout the year.
The center preserves a Grade II listed 1932 Engine Shed, capable of accommodating six tank engines or three tender engines on each of its four tracks.
