£100,000 appeal to restore 103 year old engine achieved The M&GN Joint Railway Society, the supporting charity of the North Norfolk Railway (NNR) has successfully raised £100,000 for the overhaul of the NNR’s oldest working steam locomotive. The appeal was launched in September 2013 to raise funds to overhaul Great Eastern Railway (GER) ‘Y14’ Class locomotive (LNER class ‘J15’), which is owned by the M&GN Joint Railway Society and has required a heavy general overhaul to ensure it can return to steam and start hauling trains once again.
Society Chairman Neil Sharpe who spearheaded the appeal said “The support for the appeal has been fantastic. Raising the six figure sum has been a hard task indeed, but the response by both our membership and by supporters of our plucky little engine has been phenomenal. I would like to put on record my most grateful thanks to everyone who has done their bit to help this fantastic engine steam once again.”
