As has been pointed out, Steve's motivation does not conflict with the charitable objectives of the trust, because he is a part of the community and it helps the railway to exist. I would also bet a pound to a penny that Steve has given money...

I agree. That’s rather the point, but the thought exercise was about what would be needed. And the unlikely prospect that 1000 people could be persuaded to part with £1000 each per year. Now would 500 people part with £2000 or 200 with £500? I...
