LMS 10000 and 10001 were the ancestors of all current British mainline diesel locomotives. Designed by H. G. Ivatt and built by the London Midland and Scottish Railway at its Derby works in 1947/8, they proved many parts and concepts that are still in use on the railway network today.

The society is a charity, made up of volunteers with a shared interest in the recreation and operation of this historic locomotive.

Can you help? We need funds and people to make this happen. Contact us today if you would like to be involved.
