Help Save this Abandoned Ruston 48 From SCRAP!

Hello Everyone.
I need your help. Check out the fundraiser here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfundi...

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.

Lawrie
