The 82045 Locomotive Fund
Fund aims to build a Riddles Class 3 2-6-2 tank to be based on the Severn Valley Railway.We already have a number of components and a useful library of engineering drawings, and if we can achieve the necessary funding, 82045 could be running within a very few years'time. It is our intention that this locomotive should break new ground by being the precursor of small-scale series production of new steam engines suitable for use on heritage lines in the UK.Existing locos will not last for ever: we believe that this is the only way to assure a future for working steam in this country. We also believe that the Standard Class 3 tank is ideal for the purpose, as well as plugging a gap in preservation.

Welsh Railways Research Circle
The Welsh Railways Research Circle (WRRC) aims to bring
together researchers and modellers who are interested or
specialise not only in the main line and branch railways of Wales
and the Border Counties, but also the tramways, tramroads and
the many rail connected industrial locations across the
Principality. The principal purpose of the WRRC is to provide
members with a forum for discussion, facilities to carry out
research and to enable contacts to be established with others of
similar interests, so going some way to avoid duplication of
research effort.
