An information leaflet is available for this fund
One-off donations can be made on-line or you can sign up to make regular donations using the form incorporated in the information leaflet.
The Dreadnought's time has come
Despite being one of the most important carriages in preservation, as well as being the sole survivor of its type, the scale and extent of the work needed to restore No. 3299 has resulted in it being sidelined in the far reaches of the Didcot carriage shed for several decades.
Now its time has come. The quality of recent restorations carried out by the Didcot Carriage & Wagon Department - especially on the Victorian vintage carriages - has shown that the team has the capability and skills needed to tackle the Dreadnought.
