Frank Dumbleton, a volunteer at the centre who is also a photographer, said: “It was great fun at the railway centre over the Bank Holiday weekend with the Steam Into the 40s event.
“Hundreds of visitors were entertained by dozens of re-enactors to show what life would have been like on the railways during the Second World War.”
Thousands of steam railway fans visit the centre every year, enjoying the opportunity to ride on the steam trains and visit other attractions, include a cafe, engine shed, shop and museum.
