SPONSORSHIP
As you can see from our Latest News, we are continuing to progress with the different assemblies. The carrier frames are almost complete apart from the power bogie pivot area and the various brake components. Attention has now turned to the trailing bogie which we hope to finish sometime during the spring. This will be followed by the power bogie. The components for this will be sent to Gilspel Engineering as he will be contracted to rivet this structure together and fit the cylinders, hornguides, axleboxes and the various brackets for the springs and brake gear etc.
Therefore, to progress the above we urgently need sponsorship for the following items together with others which will be included at the appropriate time

Anyone interested in sponsoring a part, please contact us by email on gowrielocomotivetrust@gmail.com, or by post to Marion Allen C/O 6 Shipley Rise, Carlton, Nottingham, NG4 1BN. Payments can be made by cash, by cheque made payable to GOWRIE Locomotive Trust CIO, by bank transfer to CAF Bank, sort code: 40 52 40, account number 00100007 or by PayPal to gowrielocomotivetrust@gmail.com. We are also happy to accept part sponsorship of a component, if someone is interested, but unable to manage the full amount. We are currently in need of extra funding to help us acquire the necessary fasteners for the eventual fitting of the cylinders and other associated parts, mainly of the power bogie. We are currently looking to order the ¾” BSW nuts which will need to be specially made as they will be to the pre-war hexagon size. The number needed to be ordered is 300, which at £1.90 each adds up to almost £600. Most of these nuts will be used with fitted bolts which are being machined in house to the required sizes from the correct grade of steel. A smaller quantity of nuts and the bolts of different sizes will also need to be acquired at the appropriate time
