Behind the scenes at Locomotive Services Ltd in Crewe

Locomotive Services Ltd has a uniquely comprehensive collection of locomotives at their main headquarters in what was once Crewe Diesel Depot. We were privileged to have the chance to tour the site and find out more about the incredible work they do preserving such a comprehensive collection of railway assets for future generations, in what they describe as the 'Noah's Ark' of the railway. Owned by Jeremy Hosking, LSL is part of the wider Locomotive Services Group, encompassing well-known brands InterCity, Blue Pullman, Saphos Trains, Statesman Rail and Steam Dreams. And if you need more persuasion to watch, here's a flavour of their locomotive collection that we feature in the film: Class 47 D1924 47810 Crewe Diesel Depot Class 47 D1948 47712 Lady Diana Spencer Class 50 50050 Fearless Class 20 D8118 20118 Saltburn-by-the-Sea Class 20 D8132 20132 Class 43 43047 Midland Pullman (Midland Blue Pullman) HST Peppercorn A2 60532 Blue Peter Gresley A4 Pacific 60007 Sir Nigel Gresley Class 45 Peak D67 45118 The Royal Artilleryman 5-BEL Brighton Belle Class 55 Deltic D9000 55022 Royal Scots Grey Class 40 D213 40013 Andania LMS Royal Scot 4-6-0 46100 Royal Scot GWR King 4-6-0 6024 King Edward I GWR Castle 4-6-0 5029 Nunney Castle Class 121 55022 960014 Flora Bubble Car Stanier Black Five 4-6-0 45231 The Sherwood Forester Membership: If you want to see even more from Green Signals, including exclusive content, become a member and support the channel further too.
