D2298 & No. 1 (20067), stabled, Quainton Road Up yard Two of The Buckinghamshire Railway Centre's resident shuters sit in the pleasant afternoon sunshine. Nearest to the camera is the former BR Class 14 now numbered D2298. It had a short working life with BR of just nine years before being purchased into preservation at the fledgling Derwent Valley Light Railway. In October 1982 it arrived at Quainton, having been purchased by a QRS member where it has been an active and resident member of the QRR fleet ever since. To the right is an unusually designed Fower shunter carrying the number one but is actually correctly numbered 20067 named 'Osram' as in the manufacturer of lighting consumables. It worked for the company at its North Wembley plant for many years before being used by GEC in their yards. Finally, after retirement in 1969, it moved to Quinton Road where it has resided since.
