Y14 Appeal Total Soars

There is exciting news for theY14:2014 Appeal, the total of which has soared after a very successful launch to the 'Big Push' to close the funding gap for the locomotive overhaul.

The 'Big Push' for the appeal was launched on our fifth Annual Members' Day on the 4th October. The intention of the campaign is to close the funding gap for our appeal to restore our 102 year old J15 locomotive, which is being restored into the guise of a Great Eastern Railway 'Y14' type, as she was originally built in 1912.

In less than one week, the appeal total has shot up from £75,000 to £87,000. This boost in funding has already had a massive impact, enabling us to continue at a great pace with the overhaul of the locomotive. Thank you to all who have so far answered the call.

We need to raise a remaining £13,000 to finish the appeal to ensure that the overhaul can be completed. Please, please donate as soon as possible to enable us to complete this momentous fast-track overhaul. We are confident that with the gap closed we will have the engine returned to the North Norfolk Railway before the year closes.
