‘The Stratford Upon Avon & Midland Junction Railway’ (or S.M.J.) was a small independent railway company which ran a line across the empty, untouched centre of England. It visited the counties of Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and a little of Buckinghamshire, only existing as the SMJ from 1909 to 1923. In 1923 the S.M.J.became a minor arm of the London Midland and Scottish (L.M.S.), then in 1948 'British Railways'

Newport Pagnell OO gauge - MK Museum - The SMJ Society

There is also a layout of Wolverton Station attached to the layout in the transport Hall of MK Museum. I can remember seeing the Newport section at a model railway show a few years ago. the elderly gent who owned it was GWR fan I think so it had GWR loco running on it!  One is still with the layout at the museum. There are a 4Fand a Princess appropriate for the Wolverton part of the layout. It would be nice to have an Ivatt 2MTT tank or a Webb 2-4-2T or a 7F though.

I don't know how I overlooked it when cycling along the cycle path that was once the Newport Pagnell branch. I must have been looking out for walkers and dogs, etc. and not looking up, but the Home signal post for Newport complete with replica fixed home signal and calling on arm still remains at Newport. Also a raised brick patio structure near New Bradwell is in fact the very much truncated remains of Bradwell station's platform.
