Project Lyn and the 762 Club

Recreating L&B Railway History

An Eric Leslie rendition of the planned new locomotive for the L&B

an exciting and unique new project for the L&B!

Plans are now in place to build a replica of Baldwin no. 15965 by 2012. The new locomotive will look externally just like the original, while benefitting from modern engineering techniques, such as welded tanks (with dummy rivets!), higher boiler pressure and roller bearings.

The 762 Club, although closely linked to the L&B, has been set up as a separate company to raise money, build, maintain and operate the new locomotive.

For more information - including a photo gallery - of the historic Lyn, and details of how you can become involved in this fascinating project, which is rapidly gathering worldwide support, or just to keep in touch with what is going on, see the project’s own own website at 762club.com
