Please check our website, Facebook Page or Twitter (@SandKLR) before you leave home to make sure everything’s going to plan. Also, please note that there are roadworks on the A249/M2 interchange which often closes the A249 between the M2/A249 roundabout and Sittingbourne – use real time journey planners, such as Google Maps, to check your route – our car park is at ME10 2XD or on what3words we are: format.fits.trains

Let’s put the Boiler back in Superb

For our next locomotive project, we need to repair and reinstate Superb’s boiler because 99-year old Melior will be coming out of service next Spring, leaving us with just one operational steam locomotive.

  • Money can be donated via our fundraising page
  • Time can be donated by emailing us at volunteer@sklr.net or visit www.sklr.net/Superb for more information
  • You can also buy items from our Amazon Wishlist which will be delivered to one of our members – in most cases there is a little bit of text explaining what we use the item for – it may not be as you expect!
