A few pictures from last weekend

Just a few pictures of the work on the drag box and buffer beams.

 As you can see there is plenty going on and plenty still to do!  It is hoped that as soon as the cylinders arrive back having been machined there will be the opportunity to start the erection of the new chassis and hopefully we will be putting the chassis on the wheels within the next 12 to 18 months.


Of course all of this costs plenty of money to continue, and if you would like us to spend some of yours on the project there are various ways it can be deposited with us.  For information on how to set up a standing order (with or without gift aid) please contact us by email at thefenchurchfund@gmail.com and we will be able to furnish you with the appropriate information.


We are also able to collect one off donations again either with or without gift aid please email for information.  Otherwise, there is the BT MyDonate page, the link is below.
