Re-use of The Yorkshire Engine Co Name
In 1988 the name "Yorkshire Engine Company" was re-registered by a new business. This new company was again in the Industrial Locomotive business but with efforts concentrated on hiring locomotives to various industrial users and also undertaking rebuilds and re-engining work on existing locomotive. The new YEC went into receivership in 2001 and ceased trading. The yard was based on the army camp at Long Marston, which these days (2007) is used for storage of locomotives and rolling stock, both for preservation groups and commercial organisations.
