Education

Working with Education and Training

The B17 Steam Locomotive Trust is unique among new-builds, with resources in pilot with Secondary Schools to encourage students to study engineering and design.

In addition, in the short time since moving our manufacturing base to Sheffield, we have developed links to Sheffield University's Faculty of Engineering, providing their undergraduate students with a project based on a B17 for their Group Design Project. Not only that, but we are working with the team from Sheffield University, headed by Jacob Whittle, regarding the Institute of Mechanical Engineers Railway Challenge 2021.
