Bury Valiant Group
Welcome to 50015.org, the website for preserved English Electric Class 50, 50015 'Valiant'. We aim to gather information and resources here including updates on ongoing maintenance, details of rostered workings and photographs from both past and present.Although a regular and reliable performer, Valiant requires constant attention both mechanical and cosmetic. If you would like to get involved as a volunteer or wish to make a donation, please click here for more details.
50015 is a member of the heritage diesel fleet based at Bury on the East Lancashire Railway
Help 50015
Ok, so everyone is looking for donations and support, but it's not all about you sending us your hard earned!
One great way of supporting Valiant is to come along and have a ride behind her on a running day or special event. You get to enjoy a ride behind a 50 and both the loco and railway earn some money, everybody wins!
Getting involved as a volunteer at Bury Diesel Group is another way of helping out. More details can be found at the ELRPS website.
If you would like to make a donation we would love to hear from you. Please see the panel opposite or below for details.
Thank you!Bury Valiant Group
