The work to disassemble the loco progresses a little each week. The photos below are from the Tuesday group of volunteers. The new container is now in place with suitable shelving for parts storage and the work continues.
As the disassemble progresses we will have a better understanding of the full cost of restoring this loco. Based on current knowledge, we estimate that it will be at least £250,000, so please consider making a donation using the button below.
Donate to restore 80064
There are also weekend volunteers working on the project. Duncan Hensley and Arron Manley, normally footplate crew, have been volunteering at Williton preparing 80064 for its boiler lift. Seen here removing the steam valves for the vacuum ejector.
