Right. Forget all this Saint new build / Duke of Gloucester nonsense this is where you should be donating!

Dig deep and give Stuart your hard earned pre-Brexit pension cash. NOW!

The man is a genius. Get the patterns made, use them and sell them on (presumably for a fat profit) and this will fund the next bit of restoration work. Why didn't anyone else think of this???

 

Well I think you need to start us off and donate first ! (and not 10p, needs to be something like £500 )

 

Who exactly will be buying these second hand patterns ?
I suppose the next Just Giving scheme will be for the copper to build a boiler.

Bob.

 

Presumably after which the copper is sold to raise money for the next parts.....

 

Harsh, Bob. Very harsh.

But an excellent comment!

 

Some times one need to think in a new way to attract supporters; maybe
Donate £500 and you can win a dream weekend with Jennifer Lawrence!

 

Who?

 

The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket.

You can keep Father Christmas!

 

going to be a couple of thousand at least plus I am going to carry out voluntary engineering support for a minimum 30 hours a week. Will probably transfer the deeds of my house to Stuart so hopefully he can build up his personal fleet of steam locos and sleeping carriages...

 

Whoever suggested a copper boiler is being cheeky. The Group Engineer has specified stainless steel so it doesn't rust!

 

I need a larger stocking if she's going to be at the bottom of my bed come Christmas morning

 

High arsenic copper might bring the restoration to a sudden halt.....

Cheers, Neil

PS Mrs R isn't too struck on the original first prize!

I have to admit I laughed as hard as anyone at some of the posts above, but this is all a bit harsh on the infamous Mr Reeder, surely? He certainly has plenty of passion and drive, even if it is not matched by long-term commitment or the ability to see things to completion.

 

Or indeed the ability to see things through to beginning!

Surely she'll be wearing the stockings wakes you up.....
