The Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society plan to recreate, and operate 10000.
In the first half of this presentation we look at the original twins LMS 10000 and 10001 (the first British mainline diesel electric locomotives), and their place in history. 10000 and 10001 were designed by H.G. Ivatt and built by the LMS at their Derby Loco Works in 1947 / 48. These locos proved many parts and concepts that are still in use on the railway network today. However before the preservation movement had started to take notice of historically important diesel locomotives, 10000 was scrapped in 1968.
In the second half of this presentation we look at the current project which is planning to recreate 10000. In recent years this has progressed to the construction of a locomotive chassis in 2022.
