On site, you will find information on the Lives and Times of the dependable BR Sulzer Type 4 diesels of class 44, 45 and 46. Daily Diaries from 1958 onwards; individual loco diaries; livery and nose-end info. It is anticipated that the site will contain train diaries, recollections from those who befriended the loco's(and some who didn’t!!). Also in the pipeline is a piece about which locos contained which major components and a gallery of photos aimed at the differing appearance of each individual loco through their lives.
Given the spread of contributing sources, it is inevitable that errors and anomalies will surface. Any correction and, indeed, any new info is always gratefully received. All sources are acknowledged in the separate credits section. However, the following are due particular thanks for their invaluable support: John Cook, Mike Kerry, Bill Pugsley, Paul "Pogo" Illingworth, Russell "Sacko"Saxton, John Goodale, John "Wizzo" Atkinson, Andrew Piper, Richard "Crumb" Rooker, Alan Wilson, Roger Geach, Fred Lowe, Mick Parker, Julian "Jools" Hill, Steve Kemp, Karl Johnson, Martin Brown, Steve Dexter, Nick Ross, Alan Lea and Mark Alden.
The website is a "labour of love" and non profitmaking. However, the owners of the remaining Peaks in Preservation would be pleased of volunteers and/or donations to help keep the locos running. Please visit the Heritage/Preservation pages for details of how to do this, and/or support the Groups via Andrew Piper's "Peak Bingo".
