The 2857 Society
From SVR Wiki
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.
Until 2014 The Society owned and used GWR carriage 5043 as a workshop, when it was transferred to the Great Western (SVR) Association. Since 2014 it uses Bewdley-based GWR 143 Tool & Packing Van.
