The 2857 Society was first founded as the 28xx Society in 1972. It is an unincorporated membership society that owns GWR Locomotive 2857 and LMS Brake Van 730866. Membership is by subscription, with a requirement for members also to become a shareholder. The Society publishes a newsletter, '28 Lines', around twice a year.

The Society uses Bewdley-based GWR carriage 5043 as a workshop. The Society owned this carriage until 2014, when it was transferred to the Great Western (SVR Association).
