The GWR was incorporated in 1835 to build the railway from Bristol to London, designed and engineered by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Members of the Great Western Society have created a living museum at Didcot, based around the original engine shed and depot to which has been added a typical branchline and country station, signalling demonstrations and a recreation of Brunel's original broad gauge trackwork. There is a large collection of GWR steam locos, carriages and wagons. Steamdays and special events throughout the year when you can ride in the 1930's trains.
