It is a little known fact that the entire preserved Class 104 fleet, consisting of thirteen vehicles, is owned by just two private individuals. Although one is now no longer active in preservation, the other is the chairman of the BRCW Group.
The “headquarters” are therefore located at the Churnet Valley Railway where six vehicles are currently located, with another six Mk1 support coaches, which are used for the undercover storage of spare parts. A further seven Class 104 vehicles are on other lines in the UK on long term loan agreements.
A summary of the fleet is below. Please click on the vehicle for a history & information page.
