71A Locomotive Group Membership

What do we do?

We have monthly at the Swanage Railway to work on 33012. Although there is often work going on at other times. A programme of work is usually planned for work party dates, with opportunity to learn new skills. Existing members have many years experience in diesel locomotive maintenance. All that is needed to begin is a pair of overalls and strong (preferably steel toecap) shoes. Anyone interested in practical work is most welcome, no previous experience is required. 71A operates within both Railways Health & Safety policies.
