Eversholt Rail is delighted to announce that they have donated a Class 91 locomotive to the Scottish Railway Preservation Society for display at the Museum of Scottish Railways.

Locomotive 91131 was the last of the Class 91 locomotives to be built at Crewe works in 1991. It holds the fastest passenger speed record in the UK having recorded a speed of 154.1mph on Stoke Bank on 2 June 1995. 91131 was in operation on the East Coast Mainline from 1991 until it was withdrawn from service in 2020.
