4150 Locomotive Fund

March 2020
Restoration update

As the majority of the boy’s are of a certain age(!) and following government advice, we have called a halt to working parties at Bewdley for the time being, but we will review this every week.

After the sad death of John Whitcomb, it has taken a little time to get things organised, as John did a lot of the day-to-day work for the fund, one of which was the updates on the website. We will try my best to keep you up to date with our activity’s.
