DARLINGTON RAILWAY PRESERVATION SOCIETY

The Darlington Railway Preservation Society is run entirely by volunteers to preserve Darlington's railway heritage and restore significant locomotives and artefacts for the enjoyment and education of future generations. The DRPS houses and restores locomotives and railway artefacts with a connection to Darlington and the surrounding area. The DRPS is home to Darlington’s biggest collection of locomotives. Most of these locomotives have a strong Darlington connection being built or operated in the area. Among these locomotives is the famous British Rail Standard 2-MT, 78018, featured in the Film Snow Drift at Bleath Gill. The Darlington Railway Preservation Society is a charity set up and run by volunteers to preserve for the public benefit; steam and other railway locomotives, rolling stock, machinery and equipment for educational and historical interest. The DRPS is home of 78018 British Rail Standard 2-6-0 class 2MT tender locomotive, famously caught in a snowdrift at Bleath Gill.
