A1 Steam Locomotive Trust

Building and operating LNER designed locomotives to ensure the future of steam on the main line. Established in 1990, The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust was formed to build a Peppercorn class A1 Pacific, based on the 1940s design but fully equipped for operating on today’s railway. The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust is an organisation like no other. From its inception, we have encouraged volunteers to do for the Trust what they do for a living, instilling an air of professionalism across the charity. The Board of Trustees are all volunteers, dedicating their time to the smooth running of this multifaceted business, from fundraising to engineering and operating trains on the main line.
