In May the right-hand cylinder of the iconic loco 63395 failed – see photo. The NE Loco Preservation Group has launched an appeal for funds to get the loco back into traffic. All donations are welcome and the best way is to go to the NELPG website for full details. Alternatively you may use bank transfer to the NELPG account: 40104442, sort code: 20-62-09. Please use the reference “Q6 Cylinder”. Postal donations can be sent direct to the NELPG Treasurer, 11 Coventry Road, Durham DH1 5XD. Thank you for supporting this worthy cause!
