Bringing our Locomotive to Life

We are currently raising funds to build a brand-new boiler for our locomotive, a vital step in bringing it to full working order and seeing it steam .

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our supporters, we have already raised over £50,000, which represents around 50% of the total cost. We’re also excited to share that the order for the boiler has now been placed, marking a major milestone in the project.

But there’s still more to do.

​

The Final Push

To keep construction on schedule, we now need to raise the remaining funds to ensure the boiler is completed within the planned two-year timeframe. This is essential to achieving our overall goal of completing the full locomotive project within the next three years.

Every donation brings us closer to that moment when the locomotive once again steam.
