Contained in its 120 pages are over 100 superb monochrome and colour photos which span four decades from introduction to the LMS in the 1930s to the demise of the entire class in the 1960s, all capturing the Patriot class in its original parallel boiler form as designed by Sir Henry Fowler. All profits from the book will go directly towards the completion of The Unknown Warrior.

PARTNERSHIP WITH EVERARDS BREWERY by Pete Sikes

Submitted by gav106 on 6 March, 2018 - 11:55

Back in December last year the office passed on an email that had been sent by Claire Cannell of Everards Brewery asking if we would be interested in talking to them about our Project. Myself and Andy Collinson were only too happy to meet with Claire over a pint at a local Everards pub in Leicestershire – hard work, but someone’s got to do it. The message read as follows:

Review of the year from Chairman, LMS-Patriot Project, David Bradshaw (with due acknowledgment to Chris Proudfoot of the 82045 Project)

Submitted by gav106 on 31 December, 2017 - 20:38

Yesterday, I read Chris Proudfoot’s monthly update on the 82045 web page which was followed by his review of 2017.  This reminded me that I still hadn’t completed my end of 2017 review for the Patriot, so thank you Chris for this timely reminder.

Patriot boiler moves to West Shed as contract is signed

The LMS-Patriot Project is pleased to announce that Heritage Boiler Steam Services Ltd.  (HBSS) has been selected as the new boiler contractor to complete the boiler for 'The Unknown Warrior'.

The company was founded by Andy Wilcock and Rob Adamson, who both left the employment of L&NWR Heritage, our previous boiler contractor, on 24th November and will start work on our boiler in the first week of December. Both partners, who are apprentice served, have between them over 30 years’ experience in boiler repair and construction. Both have worked on the new 'Patriot' boiler during its construction at L&NWR Heritage, and Andy also previously worked for Ian Riley Engineering.
