The LMS-Patriot Project took an important step forward in early December with its transfer of the The Unknown Warrior locomotive chassis to its new assembly base at Tyseley Locomotive Works, Birmingham.

This Bulletin is an update on developments since The Warrior magazine went to press in mid- August.

ENGINEERING  

There has been no further work at West Shed since July. Further drawings have been produced to allow off-site work to continue at Riley and Son.

 On-site meetings have now been arranged in the first week of October with two parties Tyseley Locomotive Works and CTL Seal Sheffield who have expressed interest in providing a new construction base for 5551.

 Meanwhile a first discussion took place in late August with PRCLT on the way forward - the dialogue will continue after their AGM in September.
