One modern Sheffield factory - building two brand new steam engines. A short film by Tom Ingall - YouTube
It's 2023 and perhaps one of the last things you'd expect to find in a modern factory which produces bespoke components for the renewable energy industry is TWO brand new steam engines.
That's exactly what's happening at CTL Seal in Sheffield. A British Railways Standard Class 6 and London and North Eastern Railway B17 are both being built from scratch. As the groups say, the facilities are fantastic and the chance to work together means learning from each other. Could more new build steam be on the way to Sheffield? Hear from the MD of the factory and the groups themselves in this five minute film, produced at a recent open day event, held in April 2023.
A cool project!
