Support our Coach Appeal

Submitted by Colin Hall on 28 February, 2019 - 14:15
We have been investigating the purchase of a support coach to run with The Unknown Warrior and have been making some low level enquiries over the last couple of years. A main line registered BR Mk1 BSK has now become available. We have registered an interest and expect to be conducting an inspection soon.

Chassis completion - update on the tendering process

Submitted by Colin Hall on 1 February, 2019 - 07:41

A dialogue has started with Riley and Son Engineering, and tender responses are still awaited from The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust and Railway Forgings and Castings. However Tyseley Locomotive Works recently informed the project that they will not tender for the contract for workload reasons.

In the meantime work continues at Crewe Heritage Centre on the engine's lubrication pipework, led by Nigel Day.

Latest Appeal - Sponsor a Nut or a Rivet

Submitted by alaws on 12 March, 2026 - 15:14

As the frames of 'The Unknown Warrior' are rapidly coming together at Tyseley Loco Works we now need to purchase new rivets and nuts.

Around 140 Philidas nuts are needed. These are a special type of self-locking nut that use mechanical deformation in their collar to grip the bolt threads. In addition to these, we need around 1000 rivets.
