A Polish Brownies and Cubs group made a trip to the Didcot Railway Centre this month.
On July 14, a group of youngsters of Polish descent living in Bristol visited the centre.
They ventured on a tour for a Scout badge by taking on the role of a railway person, known as a 'kolejarz'.
At the centre, they explored a traditional manual lever signal box and the modern Swindon Panel, which replaced over 20 manual boxes in 1968.
The panel, relocated to the centre in 2016, features computer simulations that visitors can control.
The troop also sampled travel in five different carriages, from the rather primitive third-class carriage of 1841, to a more luxurious family saloon of 1894, which offered 17 seats around a table and a lavatory, something uncommon for trains of the era.
