Welcome to the 37254 Fund
Featured Video
‘The 37254 Fund’ was set up to continue the ongoing restoration and preservation of 37254 by way of providing volunteers and raising much needed funds to secure the future of the locomotive. ‘The 37254 Fund’ promotes the locomotive and the ‘Spa Valley Railway’ at various events across Britain and via the website. Not all of our members are able to work on the locomotive due to distances involved and other general commitments, however their support via membership of the fund is greatly valued. The Fund has been purchasing and overhauling components since the locomotive was preserved to enable the locomotive to continue in service long into the future. As the numbers of Class 37’s diminish it is becoming ever harder to source components and the Fund has formed good working relationships with companies that can assist us in our goal.

Firstly may I start off by wishing all our Visitors a Happy New Year!
2010 will be another very busy year for ‘The 37254 Fund’ with lots of events and plans currently being discussed for the year ahead, not to mention the opening to Eridge. Membership / A Supporters Association will be set up during 2010 so watch this space for further details…
254 worked a private charter on the 10 September top and tailed with 33063 for SELG member ‘Toby Grayson’s’ 18th birthday party. The vacuum brakes works like new now we have fitted a bran new AV2 control valve, literally straight from the box, a rarity in railway preservation! This also made the Driver Experience Course a lot more pleasurable on the 12th September...
An Ideal Birthday Present!
