6LDA Group Preserving 26004 and 26024

[25 298]

Work on 26004 is progressing is well. However the bogie restoration requires extra funds for completion. Once the bogies are done then we can crack on with the task of making 26004 a runner again.

We are organising ONCE MONTHLY "Working Sundays", where new and old
6LDA members are invited to get their hands dirty by helping with the bogie restoration.
We are a friendly group. Most weekends you will find Stuart Sellar, Alasdair Cowan, John Howell applying elbow grease! Feel free to come along. If you are interested in participating,please contact me,([email protected]) and I will make sure that one of the team will be there to meet you!

Restoration of a diesel is extremely costly!
WE NEED EXTRA FUNDS continue and complete 26004's restoration! So if there are any enthusiasts willing to help fund 26004 we would love to hear from you. If anyone wants to donate monthly please contact me Every little bit helps, from as little as £10 per month.
([email protected]) and I will send a STANDING ORDER form.

If you don't wish to contribute monthly there a one-off is okay and I can send a "one-off" payment form.

Many thanks,

Brendan Kilgallon Treasurer (6LDA)

Hi Brendan,

Hope to see you at Wirksworth in due course. Still on course to open in the Spring.

We are now well into overhauling the second Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST, work will start in earnest on the overhaul of the Austerity 0-6-0ST "The Duke" in the new year. Work continues on the Calss 31 and the centre coach to make our 101 DMU into a three car set.

Best wishes,
