Since the last Engineering report review we finally gained access to the former Boiler Shop at Crewe Heritage Centre which enabled us to vacate the Main Hall area which we had occupied since arrival at Crewe back in October 2018. The actual moving date was 18th April 2019 just prior to the Easter Bank Holiday.
5551 'The Unknown Warrior' arrived safely onto Midland metals at the Midland Railway - Butterley, on the evening of Monday 12th August. The successful move from Crewe Heritage Centre marks the final chapter of the construction of the new 'Patriot' class 4-6-0 locomotive.
