THE Class 58 Locomotive Group(C58LG)hasbeen reformed following a period of stagnation caused by several issues.
The on-going aim is to provide support and expertise for the continued restoration and eventual running of Class 58 No. 58016, currently based at Leicester.
An online newsletter outlining plans and requests for assistance in the running of the group was published in late-August. It was sent to all past members as well as all known interested parties in the hope supporters will renew their membership from 2021.
Prior to the coronavirus lockdown, three former committee members met in Nottingham to discuss the revival of C58LG and the restoration of No. 58016.
It was agreed free membership would be available to past members of the group for this year, and that all communications would be electronic.
