Valiant has been called up to assist on Saturday 17th May and will run on the Steam Diagram with 72 Miles up for grabs! See ELR:DG for the full ELR Diesel Roster.

50015 is running at the ELR Summer Diesel Gala and our Sales Stand will be open! Running days to be confirmed once loco diagrams are released. Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th July. We hope to see you there!

Maintenance and improvements to 15 never stop really (Think Forth Bridge and Paint!). See the Valiant Facebook Group for more.

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.

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
