An Appeal

We are looking for pictures of 27 (or other P class locos) in SECR, SR or BR liveries.  There is a particular hole in the collection we have of the locos in Southern Black either in Maunsell or Bulleid condition.  If anyone can help us to plug this hole, or supply other pictures we have not seen, we would be extremely grateful.  All pictures will be carefully filed with the photographer/collectors name attached.  If we use the pictures they will be given the correct credits.


If you do have, or know the whereabouts of such pictures we can be contacted at: thefenchurchfund@gmail.com




If you would like to help us restore the loco,We have a BT my donate page and this can be found at: https://mydonate.bt.com/events/27

We can also accept cheques for any value either with or without a gift aid declaration.  If you would like a gift aid declaration form please contact us by E Mail and it can be sent to you. If you are not able to allow us to claim back the Gift Aid, please contact us and we will let you know the best way to donate.
