Welcome to the Weardale Railway Locomotive Preservation Groups Website.

Weardale Railway Locomotive Preservation Group is a support group to the Weardale Railway providing locomotives and rolling stock for use on the railway. The group was originally setup by volunteers to renovate and maintain two sentinel locomotives that were donated to the then Weardale Railway society. Over the years the group developed, raising funds and aquiring more vehicles. The group is now a registered charity (1114642) with a growing membership.  

Over the past years of the Weardale Railway's operation the groups sentinel locomotive especially has provided a huge support through its maintenance train duties and for runaround and shunting moves at the Wolsingham depot.

The groups current main project is to restore Norwood, a powerfull RSH tank locomotive for use on the Weardale Railway. Fundraising has been underway for a number of years now and some of the missing components aquired. This has been aided with a successful grant application to the Banks Foundation.
