There is plenty of, un-glamourous hard work to be carried out before we can start putting the loco back together, so if you are at a loose end any weekend, please contact thefenchurchfund@gmail.com to see how you can help us.
This weekend, we were given a kind donatation from someone who wishes to remain anonymous of a reasonably substantial amount of money. A huge thank you is sent to the donor from the Fenchurch Fund Committee.
Next weekend we will be having a "monster" display and sales stand at the Bluebell Modellers Weekend. We will be located in the Birch Grove Suite at Sheffield Park. This location is quite appropriate as loco 473 (Birch Grove) has our whistle on it! We will be showing a selection of Bluebell and other locomotives including a selection of P tanks in various liveries, terriers also in various liveries and a couple of 009 gauge layouts plus a few dioramas. If we can arrange it, we may be displaying some of the parts removed from the loco for restoration, and a few new parts that have been made ready for putting onto the loco at the appropriate time. Please come along and have a chat with one of us on the stand, who knows, maybe you will leave with a jar of marmalade!! If you would like to lend a hand on the stand preferably on Sunday, but either day, please send an E Mail to the address above and I will let you know the details.
Thank you for reading this far and don't forget to keep popping back for the latest news.
