Our facilities
We have the use of the Swanage Railway's workshops at Herston on the outskirts of Swanage in which we can work on up to three locomotives simultaneously. There is a range of machine tools and facilities to undertake many aspects of locomotive restoration. The core staff are supplemented by volunteers. For specialist work such as boiler repairs we use a number of subcontractors. We also undertake some work on behalf of other restoration groups.
While not rail connected, the works is adjacent to the Swanage Railway where several of our locomotives are operating.
