The Co-Co Club

The LMS 10000 Co-Co Club

The Coco Club is easy to join and costs just £5 a month.  Every 3 months, a prize draw will be held.  The winners will share 50% of the prize fund with the remaining 50% going to the Presidents Centenary Appeal to help us recreate 10000.  

There is no limit on the number of members, or the number of £5 entries you can make each month.  The prize money for each draw will be 50% of the funds held so the more entries, the more there will be to win!  The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place prizes will be 70%, 20% and 10% of the prize money.

Draws will be held in the first week of April, July, October and January.

Why the 'CoCo Club'?

As well as being Britain’s first mainline diesel locomotive, 10000 was also the first British Co-Co locomotive in traffic. Co-Co is the notation used by railways for a locomotive with two bogies, each with three axles powered by electric transmission.
