80064
A British Railways Standard Class 4 tank engine, being restored by the West Somerset Railway Association. Help us bring her back to steam.
Where the appeal stands
The progress bar appears once the target and amount raised are entered under Settings, then 80064 appeal. Delete this note when done.
Every pound raised goes into the work needed to return 80064 to steam: the boiler, wheels, cylinders and the hundreds of smaller jobs in between.
About the engine
80064 belongs to a class of 155 tank engines built by British Railways between 1951 and 1956 for fast passenger work on suburban and branch lines. Only fifteen survive.
Can I see 80064?
Not at the moment. The engine is under restoration and is not on public display. We will announce any chance to see her on the news page.
