===Railway Royal Engineers' Roll of Honour===Locomotive [[LMS Stanier 8F 48773]] is dedicated as a Memorial to those military railwaymen of the Corps of Royal Engineers (Transportation) who lost their lives in World War II. In 2002 the [[Stanier 8F Locomotive Society]] compiled a Roll of Honour and Books of Remembrance commemorating known casualties. Since 2008 it has been on display with the Roll of Honour at the Engine House and an additional Roll of Honour was unveiled by Brigadier Mike Stephens at a ceremony at the Engine House in 2011, together with a Roll of Honour commemorating the six Railway Sappers killed in an accident on the Longmoor Military Railway in 1956. Over 200 ex-servicemen, family members and visitors were present. Visitors can see the Rolls of Honour and information panels describing the history of the Railway Royal Engineers alongside the locomotive.<ref>[https://www.warmemorialsonline.org.uk/memorial/84398 War Memorials online] (Retrieved 22 April 2018)</ref> . ==="Helping hands for Falling Sands" donation wall===A donation was unveiled in August 2019 by the [[Charitable Trust]] acknowledging contributions to the "Helping hands for Falling Sands" appeal in aid of the restoration of [[Falling Sands Viaduct]].
