Donations

There are options for our supporters to become members of the Group and additionally buy shares in the loco owning company if they wish ( Please see seperate Membership & Shares pages ).

Another way to support us is to make a donation or a bequest towards our restoration activities and the ongoing maintenance costs of our locos.  We are very grateful for all donations and bequests.

We recently held a "Sponsor a Tube" Appeal after the unexpected failure of several of our 80097 loco's boiler tubes, after only three years running, following a complete professional overhaul of the boiler. This has necessitated the complete replacement of all the boiler tubes - both large and small.  This has cost us several thousand pounds, as well as 80097 being withdrawn from service.  Our Members and Supporters have responded fabulously to our 'Sponsor A Tube' appeal and 80097 has now been fitted with all new tubes. Our sincere thanks to all who supported us in this saga.

We are still very reliant on and grateful for all donations to reinstate 80097 and to restore 46428..
