About the SWRS:
The Slough & Windsor Railway Society is for anyone interested in railways of any kind,
especially railways in the region around Slough and Windsor. In addition
to holding weekly meetings and other events, the Society is the custodian
for Hudswell Clarke 0-6-0ST "Slough Estates Ltd No.3", a 1924-built steam
locomotive which is currently based at the Swindon & Cricklade Railway in Wiltshire.
During 2009, No.3 was taken out-of-service for her ten-yearly boiler overhaul and is now in better mechanical condition than she has been for half-a-century. However, the SWRS still need to raise about £5k to cover the cost of this work. If you would like to contribute to No.3's restoration, and help maintain this important survivor of Slough's industrial heritage, please contact one of the Society trustees. All donations will be most gratefully received.
The Society meets for illustrated talks on Friday nights in a former Great Western Railway building adjacent to Slough railway station, known to us as "The Manor". Non-members are most welcome.
If you would like more information or to join the Society, please see the Membership page.
