Transport & Heritage / Railway

Based in Keighley we have been involved with Keighley & Worth Valley Railways sinnce its beginnings in the 1960s.

We have produced many items for the Railway since its launch including signs, lamp posts, and benches. We are able to reproduce a multitde of Items for Steam Trains, and have worked with the A1 Steam Locomotive TRust in the building of the Peppercorn A1 Pacific. Castings for the replica 'Rocket' which is located in the N.R.M have also been produced.

Working closely with English Heritage and other organisations we can produce castings to meet even the most stringent requirements on a bespoke or production basis.

Testimonials

"Dear Leach & Thompson. The crank shaft and conrods supplied have made it possible to rebuild the ships no1 start compressor on schedule and the ship is now bound for Greece. Let me again thank you for your cooperation in this matter. You were recommended to us as things were deteriorating with our previous supplier. The initial reinvestment in pattern equipment as certainly paid off. With that we have a much greater guarantee of turn around on our products. "

"Dear Mick and team. A quick note just to acknowledge the effort you have put in to see that the shipment of castings bound for America arrived on time. We sent our fitters on a flight with all fingers crossed hoping to meet up with them on their arrival. Just as you promised they were there waiting."

Thanks again from Abacus of York.
