Support Us
Locomotive restoration costs a lot of money and we need broad support to continue our successful record of restoring and overhauling scrap-yard wrecks.

Our locos were sent to the scrap yard at Barry in the 1960's, but fortunately were not cut up. | Sir Keith Park had several owners before it arrived at SLL's Sellindge base in 2000. |

Much of our work is done by volunteers at Swanage and Sellindge alongside a core of skilled paid staff. | The locos were totally stripped and every item returned to as-new condition. |
