The LMS-Patriot Company The LMS-Patriot Company is building 'The Unknown Warrior' - Visit: www.lms-patriot.org.uk These were 'Valour', 'Remembrance' and 'Patriot'.

The LMS-Patriot Project was launched in April 2008, to build a replica LMS Patriot steam locomotive following the scrapping of all 52 originals in the 1960s. This would later be named 'The Unknown Warrior' following a competition held in Steam Railway magazine. Following the Great War, three of the then Railway Companies named locomotives to honour the railway employees who had fought and died during the conflict. The LNWR memorial engine, a Claughton class locomotive, was named 'Patriot', but the name was later transferred to a new 4-6-0 locomotive number 5500, which became the new memorial engine for the LMS. From this the class subsequently became known as the Patriot class. The new 'Patriot' will be named 'The Unknown Warrior' in keeping with the tradition of war memorial engines. The LMS-Patriot Project aims to continue this tradition in memory of all those brave men and women who courageously served their country. The new locomotive will serve as a permanent memorial to all those who fought and died in the First World War and all subsequent wars.

Next weekend our team is back out again, this time heading south to the Taunton model railway exhibition. Don't get me wrong, the show is always excellent, but the food here is one of the best at any show in the UK. So more than one reason to go, not that you need more than one really!

Well Saturday has been and gone! We had our members day on Saturday the 19th, and members got up close and personal to see the progress. We then had our AGM in the afternoon after we got through all the tours of the shed.

After weeks and weeks of sales stands its great to be able to see what all the hard work is going towards. 2027 is looking to be a fantastic year for the project and will see lots of parts come together at Tyseley. We are already thinking about our members day in 2027 and how we can improve on things!

Next up this coming weekend is our sales stand at the Stafford Railway Circle LTD show , definitely one to visit if you can!
