    No I do not currently volunteer
    Hey guys. I'm soon to be volunteering at my local railway museum, and one of the requirements is period clothing (Edwrdian to 50's kind of deal). Given I want to get involved with both railway operations as well as construction (track repair, building restoration and site maintenance) can anyone point me in the direction of sources for period clothing worn for this kind of work. I've seen plenty of links for the bib n' braces worn by footplatemen, what about the rest? Thanks, Laurence.

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    At my museum (St Albans South Signal Box) we've had a couple of donations of BR uniforms which some of us wear, so it's worth asking your museum if they have any clothing available from similar sources. For replica clothing and other accessories, try https://www.heritage-ops.org.uk/product_categories.php - I've bought a waistcoat from them which looks good!
