With the day we can steam Blyth for visitors to Steamworks approaching we are keen to provide a means to give guests a ride behind her. The carriage replica planned as part of the Heritage Train Project would be overkill for our current 80 yard “mainline” so we are aiming to build a shorter vehicle which has the look of the original coaches and that all-important balcony. This vehicle will be constructed such that a wheel chair can be accommodated in the saloon.

We have successfully secured a grant towards part of the cost from the Southwold Trust but are seeking further donations to enable us to make this a reality.

If you would like to help us build this vehicle, please click the Donate button below to send us a contribution by card or, if you prefer, you can donate by bank transfer or by making regular payments by Standing Order or Direct Debit. If you wish to donate using any of the latter methods, please contact our Treasurer, Nick Evans, on info@southwoldrailway.co.uk
