In 1955 when British Railways announced its modernisation plan there were over 13000 steam locomotives at work in the British Isles, by 1968 these had been entirely eliminated.
These
pages are dedicated to one class of locomotive of which none
survived the cutters torch, the Great Western Railway 'Grange'
class, and our plans to build a new locomotive to this sixty-five
year old design.
Find out how the 'Grange' class locomotives became the 'enginemans
engine', why we have chosen to build Betton Grange, and most
importantly, how you can help us to do it.
