Currently there are more than 360 preserved mainline locomotives in the UK. These can usually be seen at various preserved railways across the country, although some are certified to run on the national mainline.
This is a pictorial record of the many classes of locomotive that have thankfully been saved from the cutter’s torch. For the sake of simplicity, locomotives have been labelled with their last running number worn before withdrawal. For more information about preserved British Rail locomotives see the
Preserved-Diesels or
The AC Locomotive Group websites.
