There are some fairly major problems with the building (which was supplied to us as life expired over 25 years ago!). Some temporary repairs have been undertaken to keep most of the rain out over the winter, but it really does need replacing.

The first job was to place tarpaulin on the roof and secure it with battens in an attempt to stop the rain coming in through the many holes in the existing roofing material. A new layer of felt was applied a few years ago, but with the structure below being uneven and rough, this didn't last as long as expected, and again was intended as a short term solution. However, the roof is not the only leaky area, water comes in freely below the door and under the walls!</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">To try to prevent the worst of this a strip of rubber "garage door seal" had been added to the door opening to provide a barrier to the flow which results in huge puddles inside the building.</span></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNq08ap3twKOB3Ron__sxAQrVo2NqppvWY1bl5fG0_Uxbal0-KjTX_halBCNXekZr_IgIfyKyUAZoCPC9PyspohKPefo23c0-PbB7V65x_qC-mS1UBHEqs7P4XTnXKAWROL1v3ZQ4RuHg/s2048/Door+Seal.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNq08ap3twKOB3Ron__sxAQrVo2NqppvWY1bl5fG0_Uxbal0-KjTX_halBCNXekZr_IgIfyKyUAZoCPC9PyspohKPefo23c0-PbB7V65x_qC-mS1UBHEqs7P4XTnXKAWROL1v3ZQ4RuHg/w640-h480/Door+Seal.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">a rubber "garage door seal" added to the doorway</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">It is hoped that these measures will see us through the winter and hopefully until something more suitable can be done.

It was intended to create a lasting legacy and memorial for Matthew. As it happened, Fenchurch was his favourite loco and it needed an overhaul, including a new wheel set. So the die was cast, we had money from the whip round that was organised for a memorial and this was used as a springboard to open an "official BRPS fundraising group" known as The Fenchurch Wheel Appeal and later The Fenchurch Fund. We are now a Sub-Committee of the BRPS.</span></span></p><div class="j83agx80 cbu4d94t buofh1pr l9j0dhe7" style="background-color: white; display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; position: relative;"><div class="dati1w0a f10w8fjw hv4rvrfc discj3wi" style="padding: 16px 16px 12px;"><div><div class="a8nywdso j7796vcc rz4wbd8a l29c1vbm" style="padding: 14px 0px;"><span class="d2edcug0 hpfvmrgz qv66sw1b c1et5uql lr9zc1uh a8c37x1j keod5gw0 nxhoafnm aigsh9s9 d3f4x2em fe6kdd0r mau55g9w c8b282yb iv3no6db jq4qci2q a3bd9o3v b1v8xokw oo9gr5id" dir="auto" style="display: block; line-height: 1.3333; max-width: 100%; min-width: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">From this small beginning we assisted in the overhaul of Fenchurch by raising funds for a new wheelset as part of the required works.<br />Once Fenchurch was working we decided that it would be great to continue looking after the small locos in Matthews name and as a result PROJECT 27 emerged!<br />The Fenchurch Fund decided that sponsoring the restoration of SECR Loco No.27 fell squarely within the remit of the group and was a great option.

font-size: large;">Things are on the cusp of change, and if Boris is right we will be coming out of restrictions soon. This will mean that it should be possible for the Engineering Side of the group to get back to meaningful work on the loco in the not too distant future. It is hoped that the loco will be available for inspection during the Bluebell 60+1 event in August (this is to be confirmed).</span></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We will be having sales stands at the Bluebell Railway Modelling Weekend July 31st / August 2nd. We will be located in the usual place upstairs in the Birch Grove Suite (above the Bessemer Arms).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">For the Bluebell 60+1 event, we will be back in out usual place on Platform 1 at Sheffield Park, adjacent to the main Bluebell Shop. We will have the usual quality items plus a few extra items, and hopefully some of the new stock will have arrived by then!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The new stock will include T-Shirts in light grey (in all popular sizes), Mugs, Coasters, Drinks Bottles and caps. These will all have the artists impression of the loco in Southern Green painted by, and used with the agreement of, Matthew Cousins. Below you can see some mock ups of some of the items.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">These items, plus others, will also be available on the on line shop (see link below). We will also be introducing a "bookshop" within the online shop. This is in the process of being set up, and will include mainly railway/transport books, but also one or two other titles that may be of interest. The selection is currently composed of donated books. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We are all looking forward to getting back to our hobby as soon as possible, and the sales stands (and my signal box turns) is the way forward! I know that Matt, Ben and Jim are excitedly gradually building up to getting back to major works on site! There have been many hours putting things in place so they are ready to "hit the ground running" once the signal is given!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia_CKT-ft0p745yNAWwDOJpWg0MEyjKng8RsYF6DbdoH_ped7vrYRJL93k2aR2_VKp6GVRCSlF1Ztl1ewkCb2W345eEnijFeqtShxuXhf7rWdAw7d7JCPC4F0P0ppFoXKrZmZfhxXw9uY/s1148/27+coaster.png" style="margin-left: 1em;

font-size: medium;">Well, it's been far too long since we posted about the restoration, and unfortunately, we are still unable to get to Sheffield Park to carry out physical works to the loco. However, the fund raising has continued albeit not so vigorously as previous years! We have had a steady trickle of jam, marmalade and chutney sales, this is from a table with an honesty box, placed outside a friends house. This is situated near St. Peter's church in Upper Beeding.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">HOWEVER! We have now crashed into the 21st century and have opened an online shop! yes, you heard right! The shop can be found via the link below. We are constantly adding stock to the list, both one off items and some of the items you might expect to see on our physical sales stand. There are currently plenty of items for you to look at, and more will be added this week!</span></p><p><a href="https://the-fenchurch-fund---project-27.square.site/"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Home | The Fenchurch Fund - Project 27 (square.site)</span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We are hoping to be able to get back to working on the loco later this year as restrictions, both government and railway, are lifted. there is still plenty to do which will, of course need paying for!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you would like to help by donating to the cause, please <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">donate anything you can afford to help us see our efforts and passion come to a successful end.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">A donation of £27 would go a long way towards our aim.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><em>(with gift aid that becomes £33.75)</em></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-size: medium;">If you can help us, please make your donation on line at: </span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/27" style="background-color: white; color: #cc6611; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-size: large;">http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fund/27</span></a><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">You can also give via standing order to the Bluebell Railway Trust (please contact us for a form) or regular payments via Virgin Money Giving.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">We are a completely self funded group of Bluebell Railway Volunteers working hard to look after and promote the small locomotive fleet on the Bluebell Railway.</span></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Thank you for your continuing support.</span></span></p>Project 27http://www.blogger.com/profile/10359760733709466454noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248917632349099758.post-79993363513989688372020-10-05T02:53:00.001-07:002020-10-06T02:16:47.113-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayUZB01SpW8RZuAr07S9FMDxcGjPwjhYdqZMHBzuPrPrtGVVht4SkyMnX-3l7KSjy7To2XPgKNEzrVYQAh1mq3aURCp27-X64AHDPxZOGrehd8XN1ksI-OtS12aoJ16GCbV19rtq-Bp4/s2048/FF+P27+002.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1342" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjayUZB01SpW8RZuAr07S9FMDxcGjPwjhYdqZMHBzuPrPrtGVVht4SkyMnX-3l7KSjy7To2XPgKNEzrVYQAh1mq3aURCp27-X64AHDPxZOGrehd8XN1ksI-OtS12aoJ16GCbV19rtq-Bp4/s320/FF+P27+002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Now that 178 has been withdrawn from service, there are no small locos available on the Bluebell Railway. We are doing our best to restore 27 to working order in these strange times. Whilst there has been no physical on site work carried out since March we have been planning and fundraising in a reduced way. We were fortunate to be allowed to put some produce out on a friends end of drive honesty box stand and this has raised some funds.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We have recently taken delivery of some (approx) 3/4 scale 75H smokebox shedplate stickers. These are available for £3 plus £1 postage per order. Please email thefenchurchfund@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing one (or more) of these.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">If you are able to help us restore 27 for traffic on the Bluebell Railway please do. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We are currently sorting out donated items that are suitable for taking to auction or for private sale.

<div abp="1139">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sean Smeeth has just sent me scans of photographs taken by the late Fred Warren who was a guard on the Bluebell in the early days. It is always great to see new pictures and these are no exception. They show 27 in 1961 and one in 1969. I am sure that you will agree they are worthy of showing on here.</span></div>

A time to have a quick look back at what we have achieved since the last one, and that is a huge amount!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I attended the Working day on the 10th of November 2018, together with 6 others. At this stage the frames were flat on trestles and requiring the mill scale to be removed. By the end of the day the frames were not only cleaned of mill scale but painted in bonder primmer. yet more holes were drilled in the frames and some tapped to take bolts. This was done by mid afternoon, so it was decided to "erect" the frames using temporary stretchers. So, the frames have now been "vertical" for just about a year. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9m4DMm530pquf3OolKMdt4QzMEZBJsAfNSeosqnpP-xN2MpgIxpbJROq8F-TOtRcX_w3VidTP5V2Y-mFNrtomJ0CEAByXkEOQ6JecIwRMmSU_Buw_2Fw44Qwp8yAhX56zciL7E0nrqr0/s1600/20181110_161851.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9m4DMm530pquf3OolKMdt4QzMEZBJsAfNSeosqnpP-xN2MpgIxpbJROq8F-TOtRcX_w3VidTP5V2Y-mFNrtomJ0CEAByXkEOQ6JecIwRMmSU_Buw_2Fw44Qwp8yAhX56zciL7E0nrqr0/s200/20181110_161851.jpg" width="200" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">However, the story does not end there as during the year the frames were set to level and square and checked many times. This required the stretchers to be located using temporary bolts to hold everything in the right place. By April all of the stretchers had been bolted in place and thoughts were turning to when the riveting could begin. Other work carried out at the same time included cleaning of the cylinder covers and crossheads. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The riveting of the frames continued throughout the year and by September most of it had been done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Also during the summer the pistons have been machined to make them suitable for many more years of service. The brake hangers ware also overhauled and re-bushed during the summer.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of course the cylinders have been away at Statfold Barn for the majority of the machining to be carried out and these were returned to Sheffield Park in the early part of the year. there was still a small amount of machining to be carried out on the castings once they were returned due to needing to test fit as the machining took place. This has now been completed and the cylinders are being stored until they are required.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We are a totally self funded group within the Bluebell railway and every penny we spend needs to be raised by ourselves. There are a few ways this happens, We run sales stands at many of the Bluebell Railway events through the year, together with a few model railway exhibitions. Another way is through donations, either one off or standing orders via the Bluebell Railway Trust, with or without Gift Aid. For details please see below. We also accept items of memorabilia or railway models suitable for auction or to sell on our sales stand. Finally we have recently launched the "RIVET CLUB". This enables you to donate a regular monthly amount, for which in return you will receive a periodical news letter, advance notice of any special events organised by the Fenchurch Fund or The Little Loco Group and other benefits to be confirmed. Details for the Rivet Club can be found below.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember, all of this has been possible with the generosity of people like you that are interested in the project. Without your support we cannot carry on at the same rate experienced so far. <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Please donate anything you can afford if you would like to see our efforts and passion come to a successful end.</span></span></div>

<h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Rivet Club</span>
</h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial";"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Help us to see this fine little engine run once again by joining our
Rivet Club!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Idea?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hundreds of rivets go into the construction of an engine to make it whole,
all playing their small part, and this inspired us and got us thinking! How
could we raise the expected cost of £150,000 to see No 27 Primrose run again?
Like each individual rivet that goes into the construction of an engine to make
it whole if we where to break down this figure into a large number of individual
monthly donations from a large number of regular donating members the task of
raising the funds to restore No 27 Primrose would become a lot less daunting and
a lot more achievable!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Rivet Club!</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hence the Rivet Club was born! Set at £3 a month to join the club (Less then
a Pint of Beer to coin a catch phrase of a famous new build!) each member would
contribute £36 a year. Not much you might say but if we where able to sign up
1000 members then this would equate to £36,000 a year towards the £150,000
needed and help to raise the funds required over a 5 year period!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<strong><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So could YOU help us?</span></strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> You will soon be able to join the Rivet Club and make a difference! at £3 a month you could
help us see SECR loco No 27 return to steam within the next 5 years! Once signed
up you’ll also receive a copy of our quarterly E-newsletter as a way of saying
thank you as well as keeping you up to date with our current progress! More details will be posted here shortly.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fundraising Stand</span></h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We nave come top the end of this years programme of sales and information stands, apart from a couple of "mini stands" by the signal box on the 30th November and 7th of December.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are always looking for new places to spread the word, so if you organise a model railway exhibition or other related event and are looking for stands to fill a space, please let us know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our first even in 2020 will be at the Wealden Railway Group annual exhibition on Saturday 7th March in Lancing Parish Hall.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Fundraising generally has been reasonably good this year, though we did miss three events for various reasons, including wind and rain at the Giants of Steam. This has meant we are slightly down on take from last year. If you would like to help fill the gap between the figures, please go to our Virgin Money page shown below.</span><br />
