    Hi,

    I visited the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway last Saturday, and purchased their latest 'Push & Pull' magazine, and there was a leaflet regarding a Steam Appeal for 3 locomotives that needed funds to complete their respectful overhauls.

    The 3 locomotives are:
    S160 5820 (a.k.a Big Jim)
    BR Standard 4 4-6-0 75078
    Taff Vale 0-6-2 tank No 85

    On the leaflet itself said how much each loco needed to complete their overhauls, 5820 (£60K), 75078 (100K) and No 85 (60K).

    I'm all for to send in a donation for each of the 3 locomotives, but what it didn't state on the leaflet was who to make the cheque out to?

    If anyone from the K&WVR could help me out I would be most grateful.

    Cheers

    I am sorry for this apparent oversight. The cheque should be payable to the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Trust. There's a donation form to download on this page: http://www.kwvr.co.uk/trust.html

    Sincerest thanks for the donation and also for highlighting the fund raising push to get these locomotives completed.
