Spring Into Action: Help Fund 2874's Locomotive Springs

As we progress with 2874's restoration, we are rapidly approaching an exciting milestone - having a rolling chassis. This represents a significant step forward in our restoration journey.

There are some small fettling jobs to complete, but before we can put the wheels back under her, we need to secure 8 locomotive springs and hangers. We already have 4 springs, so we need a further 5 springs (2 pairs and a spare!).

The Cost

£7,700 is needed to purchase these essential components.

We need to place the order soon as there is a long lead-time, so contributions toward this cost would be very much appreciated.

Double Your Impact!

We have a number of pledges for match funding, so your donation could be worth DOUBLE to the Trust! And Gift Aid, if applicable, adds even more value to your contribution.
