LMS 10000 Promo

The LMS Railway built the UKs first mainline diesel locomotive back in 1947. Sadly this locomotive was scrapped in 1968 before the railway preservation movement was fully established.
The Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society aims to recreate this lost locomotive and fill a massive void in Britain’s railway history.
This video give a brief history of the locomotive, the society’s LMS10000 project and how you can become involved.

In 1949 10000 and 10001 were at Willesden shed where my brother worked and in the days before health and safety we as train spotters could wander about and collect loco numbers , and i was allowed to go into the cab of 10000 something i will never forget , my hat goes off to to the guys at Ivatt Re-creation Society for their outstanding work , im 86 now and i hope i will still be about to see it completed.

I live here in the US & this is the first time I've learned of these remarkable & groundbreaking units. I found it very interesting. I think what y'all are setting out to accomplish is just absolutely awesome & wish y'all all the luck.

[@LMS10000Recreation]

Thanks. we appreciate the encouragement

[@zanefraser714]

interesting, a diesel locomotive trust. I hope your trust succeed in building the first diesel locomotive of Britain

I have been watching this project for a while now. I really hope it comes to fruition! It was such a shame the original twins got scrapped. Now their contributions to British Railway history have faded into obscurity... this project will be sure to spread awareness of how groundbreaking this design was for its time and teach railfans some important history.

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

Considering its place in loco development, its scrapping has to be seen as pure vandalism. Those who did it should hang their heads in shame.

[@RoseSupreme]

@@EllieMaes-Grandad Indeed.

[@JoeK25301]

I strongly believe that this loco should be classified as 10003, as it is more suitable for the remembrance of the original 10000 and 10001 locomotives.

[@bennickss]

Did you mean to say 10002?

[@LMS10000Recreation]

see lms10000.co.uk/faqs

[@musicgarryj]

Perhaps a more authentic idea might be to paint it in BR Brunswick Green as 34001?

[@EllieMaes-Grandad]

@@bennickss That would be very reasonable, given the way it's to be constructed. It's new, it's different. A 12":1' scale model is what it is. Nostalgia has its place, but not here.

[@leroyholm9075]

Excellent well done on the history and liveries, much appreciated!

[@leroyholm9075]

How good is this another far sighted project that can only be good for the future of heritage railways and the tourist industry.

[@ALCO-C855-fan]

HELL - YEEEEEEAAAAAAH!!!!!!! THAT'S what I wanna hear. I even gave them an own Thomas and friends story in hnor and given it the class 34 designation. I wanna see this ASAP man!^^

[@itssteve1923]

These locos were a key point of UK rail heritage.

[@easyamp123]

How cool it would be to get ride behind a 10000 series, very cool. Good luck!

[@robertsmith3672]

Saw 10001 on Willesden shed. Never caught 01.

[@andrewganley9016]

A scandal one of these pioneering locos were not preserved

[@bennickss]

Is it going to be numbered 10000 as a recreation of the original or will it be numbered 10002 as the next member of the class?

[@LMS10000Recreation]

the answer is on this page: lms10000.co.uk/faqs

This was sliced with cutting torches at Cashmores in 1963 and the debris sent for melting. A replica does not count.
