AN EXCITING NEW APPEAL........
In 2021, 5305 was withdrawn from service pending a full overhaul. We are now well into that overhaul to return 5305 to both heritage railway and main line charter train operation. This is where we need your help.
We’re looking to raise £25000, to help us cover the costs towards a new ¾ back head and 2 new ¾ outer wrapper firebox sides, plus new copper stay material for the boiler overhaul.
We have a range of exciting incentives based on a one-off donation:
- £20 donation – 5305 coaster or keyring.
- £30 donation – 5305 mug or 5305 beanie hat.
- £40 donation – 'A Tribute to 5305LA Flagship 5305/45305 Alderman A.E. Draper’ DVD or 5305LA Travel Mug
- £55 donation – 5305LA polo shirt (Select size required).
PLEASE ALLOW AT LEAST 28 DAYS FOR THE DELIVERY OF GIFTS AS THEY ARE FULFILLED BY OUR VOLUNTEERS
If you are a UK tax payer then please complete the Gift Aid declaration part of the checkout process. This will allow us to claim an extra 25p per £1 donated (at no extra cost to yourself) which will give a huge boost to this appeal.
Thank you for your support!
