Members Working Days
A special 'Members Working Day' in November 2019 was a great success and was attended by eleven volunteers, most of whom have been involved in the preservation of 45133 from the early years. They all worked together with numerous tasks on the loco and enjoyed a fantastic buffet lunch produced by one of the volunteer's wife. More of these days will be arranged in future, once the COVID-19 restrictions are eased further, so look out for details here and on the 45133 Facebook page. You will be most welcome to come along, help out in whatever way you can and meet other members.
