hello all,

"The IDRPG are a group of dedicated volunteers with the aims of preserving and restoring a variety of rail related items, including Locomotives and Rolling stock. We also aim to educate the public in the history and operation of all aspects of the railway scene. Whether that be mechanical workings of locomotives and equipment, to the history of lines. The group has a variety of skills such as mechanical, electrical, joinery, painting and locomotive lining, as well as many more. As a group we are currently self sustaining, and rely on contributions from those who wish to become, and those who already are with the group. We are willing to travel to any location. Given time and planning we aim to help any railway who needs our assistance. If you are a railway, or have a project and would like to know if we can help, then please email idrpg@outlook.com, stating who you are, where you are from. If any of you would like to be a member of the group, then please message our facebook or twitter page, and we will let you have details of the next Starter Session."

Had the pleasure of meeting up with Toby,Charlie and Stephen of the IDRPG when they came to the Yorkshire Wolds Railway a few weeks ago to give our loco an independent report, pleased to say they were quite happy with it and its good to see these guys looking after the forgotten locos of railway preservation (how many industrial diesels do you see rotting away on railways), well recommended to anyone wanting help their loco.
