An excellent start has been made this week on the shed in Ropley TMD. The structure is scaffolding based and will have corrugated tin sheets on the roof and plastic sides. (1/3)
This provision will allow the mainline diesel locos 20's, 47 & 50 and the 2H DEMU to be stored under cover and reduce damage to paint and bodywork from the weather.
The project has been funded by the loco owners and kind donations from our supporters. (2/3)
If you are able to assist to move this project forward, please have a look at the link below. Every little bit helps to keep these wonderful machines running.
