I think the point is that if they appealed for £X,000 for (eg) ballast and £Y,000 for overhaul costs for loco 1234, then people would see exactly where their money was going to and are therefore more likely to contribute. Saying we need £250,000...

I don’t expect them to, although I’m not really sure why they fail to realise that this a a group of railway enthusiasts, who are likely to donate to appeals but do expect some transparency on where their donation is going in return. I wouldn’t...
