The Engine Shed/Railway Depot

The shed itself is immediately visible once you have entered the Railway Centre.

The shed contains four tracks each providing 200 feet (60m) of covered space. Each 1.can accommodates three tender engines or around six tanks 2..

The most striking features inside the shed are the smoke hoods running above the tracks and designed to carry all the smoke from the locomotives out through the wooden 3. on the roof. Note that the 4. above one of the tracks was removed by British Rail before the Great Western Society arrived at Didcot.

Operational locomotives not in use on an open day, and those restored for static display can generally be seen in or around the Engine 5., which you are most welcome to visit.

Behind the Engine Shed is the small Lifting Shop containing a 50t 6., where, for example, locomotive boilers can be lifted from the frames. Due to the nature of the work being undertaken inside, it is generally not possible to enter the 7.for safety reasons.

Coal Stage

Another building which is very evident as you enter the Centre is the Coal Stage.

This building was designed to make it as easy as possible 8. the locomotives before sending them out for their turns on the railway network. The large tank at the top of the building supplies water through large diameter 9. which can be seen in front of the Engine Shed.

Coal is brought into the building via rail wagons which are propelled up the long 10. starting near the entrance to the Centre. Coal can then easily be unloaded into wheeled tubs which can then be tipped directly into the tender or 11. of a locomotive. You can often watch a locomotive being coaled during the course of a running day.
