Supporting 76084
The 76084 Locomotive Company Limited has been in existence since 1997 and has been using funds gained from the sale of shares, odd donations and the sale of various small items. The company anticipate that 76084 will be back in steam by late 2012. The end is in sight.
We are at the final push stage and whilst pleased and very thankful for the financial support already received, we do need some more to meet our target date. We have put together a package of various methods of financial assistance through which you could help us achieve the return to steam of 76084. The current options are:
There are a number of locomotive and tender parts that need sponsoring. A full list is on the Sponsorship page. Costs range from £26 for a boiler tube to £3000 for a live steam injector. Any sponsorship no matter how small is always welcome. We maintain a Roll of Honour listing the names of those who have sponsored any item going into 76084. We would be most pleased to add your name to our growing list. Over 100 sponsorships now recorded. Be a sponsor!

If you sponsor parts or donate £250 or more you become a Shareholder. Being a Shareholder gives you several benefits depending on the level of your shareholding. Chief amongst these benefits is an active part in the return to steam of 76084 and tickets on the first passenger train on a heritage railway behind 76084 - an event not to be missed.

As we approach the return to steam of 76084 our marketing department is gearing up to generate income that will ensure she is well maintained. We already have a number of items that can be purchased. All profits go towards 76084's restoration.
If none of the above are attractive you can always simply donate any fund to the company for 76084's restoration. We are looking at setting up a charitable trust so that any donations from income tax payers can be increased through gift aid.
Financial help is not the only type of assistance we can use. The actual restoration of 76084 is being performed by professional engineers ably assisted by a bank of willing volunteers with a variety of skill levels.
