About us

Established in Leicestershire by Karl Titchener in 2020, Marston Steam & Vintage Restorations has grown into a sizeable business meeting the needs and demands of engine owners up and down the country. Karl and the team have a combined 50 years experience dealing with steam engines and other vintage vehicles carrying out anything from complete overhauls to repairs to routine engine maintenance such as getting the engine ready for hydraulic and steam test(s).

 

Here at Marston, we recognise each engine is unique to the owner and take upmost care and attention when handling such machines. We pride ourselves on being open and honest about engines and machinery and want every customer who leaves with an engine through a sale or drops an engine off for work has been and will be looked after.

​

We are happy to guide the most novice of newcomers to the steam world, we completely understand this can be a daunting time especially when buying your first engine. But, this can also be a daunting exercise when making the transition from a miniature to a full-size (or vice versa). If you are unsure about making the move, why not check out our guide to buying a steam engine, this is not a simple task and requires more research than your average car purchase.

We hope to meet you soon! (left to right, Karl, Jack & Tom)
