Britain now has a railway heritage
collection like no other in the world, thanks to the vast army of dedicated
volunteers. This publication looks at their unselfish dedication, which ensures
that not only the hardware of the railways has been kept alive since 1968 but
also preserved a unique way of life.
It looks at the locations and condition of the preserved steam locomotives
and the healthy number of working and ‘as rescued’ steam loco’s based at the 115
or so heritage centres of the UK, the progressive withdrawal of steam
trains became the catalyst for new undertakings – the preservation movement was
born and the enduring attraction of steam power continues to fascinate and
provide pleasure for many thousands of people throughout the country – Steam
power is alive and well.
