Another version of the standard design and the next station along the line from Rothley. This one has been restored to a 1940's era.

Just found this post whilst browsing; I was born on a farm at Old Woodhouse just up from Quorn and would walk down to the station to watch the trains. Later as a soldier I caught the train to St Pancras when on leave. Fond memories, laterly I worked as chauffeur to the MD of Brush. Odd then that I never had a train set until I was 66!

Nice to see a station restored to former glory.
Not like the vandals who tore down the elegant station buildings and replaced them with bus shelters.
Thanks for the photo,s.

Hi Gary, I watched a travel show the other night,a guy riding a Harley Davidson round Oz he passed thro Quorn and did a little filming, it looked so sad that an interesting place like that could be allowed to go to seed :cry: when so many Aussies would love to take it on and preserve it. cheers mate Pete. 

it was already on fire when I got here, honest!
