The C37LG exists to restore, maintain, preserve and operate for the public benefit a diesel locomotive of historical importance and interest. The Group owns locomotive 37003, which is currently based on the Mid-Norfolk Railway. We have restored our locomotive to full working order, and it is regularly both on public display and in use on public train services on this heritage railway.
