Raising steam

Project 62 is a Charitable Community Benefits Society working towards the restoration of Yugoslavian built Class 62 USA type 0-6-0 tank steam locomotives 30075 and 30076.

 

In January 2016 both 30075 and 30076 were moved to the headquarters of the North Dorset Railway Trust (NDRT) in Shillingstone, Dorset. Operational as recently as June 2004, engine 30075 is steadily being restored to an operational status, so that it may start steaming once again.

​

Although separate entities, Project62 and The North Dorset Railway Trust are working closely together to reach their common goal of having locomotives once again steaming off from Shillingstone railway station.
