Railway Carriage\u00a0now sitting on Platform 9 3\/4 behind the Goods Shed<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a day\u00a0 \u2013 people stood in absolute amazement\u00a0as a seventy foot bright blue Train Carriage slowly trundled its way through the Town and down to the Good Shed. Oh so very carefully was it gradually manoeuvred into position and we should like to say a big big thank you to everyone who helped on the day: the Drivers and Expert team who brought it all the way from Leicestershire, the Stewards and Volunteers not to forget the lovely Ladies in the Cafe ensuring all the workers were looked after.<\/p>\n

And now the fun really begins!<\/p>\n

Will Cook, Graham Cleaver and the rest of the Team are already hard at work restoring the Carriage to its former glory and you are invited to come and join them. We be delighted to see you whether you can offer specialist knowledge and expertise or if you simply want to come along to hold a ladder or paintbrush you will certainly\u00a0receive a very warm welcome.<\/p>\n

The total estimated cost to transport, install and restore this magnificent carriage is going to be around \u00a315,000 and we are launching an appeal to help us raise the monies required. \u00a0We have set up a special scheme corresponding to GWR engine classes:\u00a0 Star = \u00a3100, Castle = \u00a3250 and King = \u00a3500, \u00a0and those whose donate by 31st<\/sup> January 2018 will have their name (or perhaps that of \u00a0a loved one) included on a Donors Board in the Carriage.<\/p>\n

But whatever you can do to help \u2013 you know we will be truly grateful. Thank you.\u00a0 Please contact the Office on 01666 505496<\/p>\n<\/div>
