Crewe, the most famous railway town in Britain, has been associated with locomotive construction since 1846. From the days of the London and North Western Railway, passing through ownership by the LMS, British Rail and now ADtranz, the tradition of high quality workmanship has been maintained. ADtranz allowed exclusive access to their Crewe operation giving a rare insight into the high technology world of modern traction maintenance.In addition, locomotive types built here are shown at work. 1996 saw the 150th Anniversary of the LNWR and to mark the occasion ADtranz opened their doors to the public on the 17th August 1996. An impressive collection of steam and diesel locomotives associated with Crewe were displayed. A fifteen minute supplement captures this special day including film of the unique display of locomotive nameplates.
