    ‪We are back on site at Sellindge this weekend working on 35011. Unfortunately the hangers for the springs weren’t completed in time to enable us to test fit the entire assembly for the trailing truck but still lots of parts to trial fit and work to do. ‬

    At first I gave this project "cat's chance in Hell". It is now looking somewhat more promising, but before contributing a penny myself I'd want to see a firm and plausible finance plan, with how they expect to raise £X per year for Y years adding up to Z million total.

    Sort of an odd situation. You are asking for money and trying to show that you are spending wisely and making progress on the rebuild. But there is no way that you can make people contribute you have to convince them. Or, if you are a criminal,
    fool them. Nobody involved seems to be doing anything but raising money and overhauling a locomotive so no fooling here. Of course there is a plan. But it depends on people stepping up. No money no project. Ball in your court....

    Got to admit I’m am unsure, my knowledge of coaching stock isn’t the best. I’ve been told it’s a unnamed Dover boat train

    A pair of CCT/GUV's, a bogie utility in Pullman colours? a Mk1 then a Pullman. Just my guess.

    I think the first carriage is a Maunsell; I agree with you about the next two (a Mark 1 then a Pullman). I'm not aware that any of the bogie utility vans got painted in Pullman colours except the one instance in Winston Churchill's funeral train.

    The first coach appears to me to be a Maunsell Restriction 1 Non- descript (ie unclassified) Brake widely used on Kentish boat trains. The KESR has a couple of preserved examples in service and Bluebell also has a couple waiting restoration, though I fear that my well be a long way off.

    So sorry, im leading you all up the wrang road. Its the colour photo that's used on the header of the updates im commenting on, not the Black&white above. Early crest on the loco and a combination of Blood and custards, southern region greens but there are definitely two kinds of coaches in the mix.

    I'd take a punt that the first four in that photo are Mark 1s, followed by three Bulleids in position 5,6 and 8. The carriage 7th in line doesn't appear to have the same profile as the others; I'm wondering if it is something of LSWR provenance; maybe an early SR Ironclad. Behind that all a bit indistinct.

    I'd agree that 1 - 4 are BR Mk 1s; 5 -6 Bulleid and 7 might well be of LSWR provenance as you suggest.
    Seeing that the under sole bar style of carriages 8 - 11 is similar to 5 and 6 I think it reasonable to presume they are also of Bulleid design.
    The twelfth coach is somewhat blurred but think it might be another straight sided vehicle - i.e. Maunsell, etc.

    The difficulty in this is that it's a catch 22. Cant persuade people that you are a serious project untill they prove they can raise money and yours won't be going to waste, but if everyone did that then nothing would ever happen. Sometimes you just have to meet a team, sound them out and go with your gut.

    Its all very well banging on about business plans and fundraising targets, but at the end of the day the work that is required to be done is Y, it will cost X, it will take as long as it takes to do Y/ Raise X .
    The more people interested/ committed enough to help do Y or contribute to X the shorter it will take.
    If anyone is unsure i think Gav106 has a good approach.
    I have been supporting the Clanproject since i met them, they are the kind of people who will knock a tunnel through a mountain even if given a spoon to do it with would shrug, smile and get on with it while politely asking if you have a pick axe, , or failing that a bigger spoon...
