We’re fundraising to buy a train – yes a locomotive and three wagons – to provide a safer and more manageable track maintenance train, as well as an instantly available locomotive which will make shunting at Kemsley Down so much easier.

Click here or on the picture above to go to our Just Giving page, we’re trying to raise £15,000 to buy the train, move it to Kemsley Down, buy a battery charger for the loco and make improvements to the wagons so they drop ballast directly onto the track.

A massive thank you to the people who donated already – you’ve raised over 12% of the target amount. Most of our track gang volunteers have retired from full time work so anything that makes their life easier and safer has got to be a good thing.

Here’s how they currently do it – shovelling ballast from bags on a wagon to wheelbarrows and then wheeled to site.

The new wagons will drop the stone directly onto the trackbed.
