The Type One Locomotive Company is a group of British Diesel Locomotive Enthusiasts, dedicated to preserving, running and maintaining examples of heritage British diesel locomotives.
The T1LC is a ‘not for profit’ organisation and all monies raised (either through donations or memberships) are used to maintain and overhaul our locomotives, as well as day to day running costs.
We are always on the lookout for more shareholders, either armchair enthusiasts or those who can give time as well as money!
We have ownership of three ex British Railways Locomotives and our base is at the Great Central Railway in Loughborough.
