2023 Open Day - 15 April - A date for your diary!
The Standard Steam Loco Co and the B17 Steam Locomotive Trust will be holding an Open Day on 15 April 2023. Watch this space for further details.
We're building an improved British Railways Standard Class locomotive using 21st century engineering. Why not join us?
10 of the "Clans" were built in 1951/1952 to provide a powerful locomotive with a wider route availability than the Class 7 Britannias. It was intended to build 15 more but steel shortages and impending dieselisation put a stop to the build. We've taken the name and number of the first proposed engine for our project - Hengist. Have a look at the News section to see how we're getting on.

The software can be provided to the successful candidate.
