Welcome to the "Wightwick Hall" Restoration Group Website.

Updated 2nd July 2009. Look in regularly, we update at least twice per month. We have several new in service pictures dotted around the website.

"Wightwick Hall" is under restoration at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Quainton.

The aim of this website is to provide information on: the history of 6989; progress of the restoration; the support groups and fundraising activity and how you can help put this magnificent engine back in steam.

Any contribution can be sent to the webmaster at (jeffjackson@btinternet.com).
