Seen during our 2008 Gala, D1524 is privately owned and has sadly deteriorated in recent years due to a lack of funds. £3,000 would fund a high-quality protective cover — making the difference between future restoration or terminal decline. Can you help? ebar.org.uk/aboutus/47004-…

🚃 Southern Railway Brake Van Currently under restoration in our Embsay workshops, alongside two other wooden-bodied coaches. Behind-the-scenes work like this keeps our heritage rolling stock alive. Get involved 👉 embsayboltonabbeyrailway.org.uk/aboutus/volunt…

From the archives: Monckton No. 1. A familiar gala sight in 2008, and today patiently awaiting its turn in the restoration queue. Help keep heritage alive 👉 embsayboltonabbeyrailway.org.uk/aboutus/volunt…
