Story
We are aiming to fundraise the final £5000 required to return Hudswell Clarke no.1539 "Derek Crouch" to steam for the first time in almost 50 years using a team, of young volunteers at the Nene Valley Railway, Wansford. 2024 is the centenary year of the locomotive and the aim is to have it running again in time for a centenary celebration later in the year!

10 months agoLast week we had a visit from our boiler inspector to look over the boiler, as the scope of works set out was set by our previous inspection company. After a good look and discussions between myself and the inspector, the decision was taken that further work would be required. This means that we are now replacing the outer firebox wrapper in its entirety - not just the right hand side which we have already cut out and made a new side, as well as replacing the front tubeplate. This leaves us a significant shortfall, so please help if you can!
