An improbable, funny, but absolutely true story relating to the Kineton military railway.Long after my Army days I still retained an affection and passing interest in Kineton ammunition depot where I served during the 1960s. Coupled to a 'love' of…Continue

Electric train staff equipment had been brought into use between Blisworth and Towcester by 9 August 1910 (date of SMJR minute 451 (TNA file RAIL 674/3)) and presumably the new signal box at Blisworth appeared at the same time. In that this was so…Continue

Did this railway (as opposed to the East & West Junction Railway) go into receivership - if so, when. And when did it come out of receivership?Continue

To all members /supporters,
Last year we had an excellent get together at Stratford on Avon, why not then a recall meeting at possibly the same venue next year?
A wonderful opportunity to exchange ideas, thoughts, experiences & show off our models & 'bit of collections' relating to the SMJR.
Let's all put all put a series of possible dates together to see what can be achieved.

Sounds good!!!
Count me in!

Great idea for debate meeting -- can it be 'this end of the line' however -- Northampton or Towcester??
Great idea!!
As a fairly new member I would welcome a get-together. Before the majority of the line closed I went on one or two railtours in the 1960s. I particularly remember one from Fenny Compton to Broom Junction, where I remember seeing the points clipped and padlocked before passage of the train, and then on through Alcester. I also remember seeing bits of CAD Kineton.

Yes, a very good idea to get together as i just missed last year before i joined. I certainly will bring plenty of photographs of the S.M.J. around Stratford in the 1950 's. including the last passenger train. Brian England.
Yes would look forward to another get together at Stratford on Avon the sooner the better, really enjoyed the last one Ray Hughes.
Good day out. Thoroughly enjoyed it last time. Would come to another. Suggest late spring / summer as the days are longer and likely to be dryer under foot should we walk some of the trackbed.
Brilliant idea. Spring or Summer. Looking forward to it.
If I can, I'll be there!
