You should initially contact the foreman, John Porter:

None. OK, if you are a metalworker or engineer, then we can certainly employ such skills; but any willing pair of hands will be put to good use.

All sorts. Restoration involves machining new parts, cleaning old parts, painting, welding etc. Other tasks may be collecting and delivering parts; selling scrap metal to raise finds; helping out the sales team on open days.

Working party team members must be members of the 7200 Trust. You must also be a member of the Quainton Railway Society for insurance purposes; membership also gives you free access to the Quainton site.

We meet on alternate Sundays throughout the year (see working party dates), and usually a weekday fortnightly to be agreed upon by those wishing to attend. The sales team attends Buckinghamshire Railway Centre event days.

Working times are flexible, we usually start around 9:00am and finish about 4:30pm.

Entry to the site is via the down yard gate on the Waddesdon (south) side of the bridge, in Station Rd. Parking is available on-site usually behind the restoration shed or adjacent to the museum.

Overalls, safety shoes or boots, work gloves, safety goggles, face-masks and possibly hard hats are the usual kit; other specialist kit, e.g. welding masks, we have.

Hot food is available on Sundays in the Rewley Road Centre, and there is a mess room in the restoration building where hot water for beverage making is available. Toilets are available throughout the site.
