Join us and be an owner of your VERY OWN steam locomotive! Have you, or one of your friends or family ever wanted to be the Owner and driver of your very own Steam Locomotive? Well here is your opportunity. "PROJECT 62" Locomotive Group is an independent consortium of railway enthusiasts, who decided to base 30075 at the EAST SOMERSET RAILWAY. If you are interested in becoming a part owner in 30075, no matter what age, we will be delighted to welcome you. We can offer you driver experience courses on 30075, access to the engine footplate on most running days and, if you so desire, even to get your hands a little dirty working on the locomotive! An Ownership Certificate, Membership Card and regular Newsletters will also be yours when you join us. "PROJECT 62" holds an Annual General Meeting for all its members each Spring and from time to time there are free Members' Days at the Railway. Part Ownership Shares are available for £250 each, or in multiples of £250. Shares may be paid for in full with a one off payment, or in easy monthly payments from £5, by Bankers Standing Order. Even if you decide not to join us, donations, however small, are always gratefully received, towards the future ongoing maintenance & repairs of 30075.
Fresh from the paintshop - 30075 at Cranmore 7th July 2004 BUYING A SHARE - with a certificate running for 10 years from April 2004, 30075 is a perfect opportunity to participate in ownership of a unique locomotive type and one which will now be in service for a considerable time. Not only will a share in this locomotive mean you have a stake in it, but it will also entitle the shareholder to access to the locomotive (on the final authority of the operating railway) as well as an opportunity to participate in its running. Project 62 needs to raise funds to keep 30075 running and maintained in the condition to which it has now been brought at Cranmore. Project 62 also needs funds to ensure that the next time a full overhaul is required in around 2014 that it can be done swiftly so that the locomotive is out of traffic for the minimum time.
