Help Save this Abandoned Ruston 48 From SCRAP!

Hello Everyone. I need your help. Check out the fundraiser here: Together, we can get 294266 back into operational service, and save a locomotive from scrap. That’s pretty exciting right? Getting 294266 involves getting new tyres, which would cost £10,500 pre COVID, so with everything getting more expensive, more like £15000 today. I cannot afford that. The MSLR has given me notice that progress on the machine needs to be made, or it needs to find a new home. Using the wheelset from 393303 represents the quickest and most cost effective way of getting Sir William back into traffic. The future restoration of 303 represents a new series on the channel, and a chance for you guys to get involved helping out! I don’t like to ask for money from you guys - as you know, I earn very little from YouTube, and so I really appreciate every single pound you guys can help with. Thank you.
