Donate to the C58LG
Help the Class 58 Locomotive Group restore 58016, preserve the surviving members of the class, and protect the legacy of one of British Rail’s most distinctive freight locomotives.
The Class 58 locomotives are icons of British Rail engineering — powerful, distinctive and built to work. Today, only a small number survive, and without continued support their story risks being lost.
The Class 58 Locomotive Group exists to restore, preserve and interpret the history of the class for current supporters and future generations alike.
What Your Donation Supports
Every donation goes directly towards practical preservation work, including:
- Mechanical and electrical restoration work on 58016
- Sourcing and purchasing hard-to-find components and materials
- Storage, transport, protection and long-term care of preserved assets
- Preservation of Class 58 history, records, artefacts and interpretation
- Educational and heritage activity that helps keep the story of the class alive
Why It Matters
The surviving Class 58s represent an important chapter in British freight locomotive development. Supporting the group helps ensure that this history is not only remembered, but actively preserved in a meaningful and tangible way.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a real difference to the future of 58016 and the wider preservation of the class.
