The end of working steam on Britain’s railways heralded the start of one of the most fascinating resurgences of the last century, namely the railway restoration & preservation movement. Volunteer enthusiasts have brought back from oblivion both the famous names of mainline express locomotives & the lesser known work horses of branch & industrial siding. Great & small have been lovingly restored to full working order & have found lives on a myriad of Britain’s preserved railways. Others are long term operating lines that never closed & are faithfully continuing to operate for the pleasure of all!
