Volunteering For Us
What's Involved?
The mainstay of our work may involve the repairing, maintaining, overhauling and even running our collection of locos – but it doesn’t need to stop there!
We are always happy for volunteers of any age, any gender, any skillset to help us beyond just “fixing trains”.
Whether being a steward on railtours, promoting the group and our goals, to even help crewing the locos we work on, the list is endless!
If you would like to start a membership and volunteer for us, please feel free to fill out a membership form or contact us to find out more on how you can help the group.
The location of each NELPG meet may vary depending on the location of NELPG Locomotives at the time; typical locations tend to be Deviation Shed, Grosmont, and The 1861 Shed, Darlington.
Safety and Workshop training will be given when joining the group and on an ongoing basis. Junior Volunteers will be expected to bring appropriate workshop clothing including safety footwear and overalls but other safety equipment will be provided as necessary.
Please note that there may be a waiting list for joining the group.
