Help Downpatrick and Co. Down Railway through these tough times!

[Warbonnet]

Hi everyone,

Our friends at Downpatrick and County Down Railway have been badly affected by the COVID19 situation, with Stormont not helping them with funding during this very difficult time. Without revenue due to lockdown for 2020, the society needs every bit of financial support it can get.

The railway is the only operating 5ft 3 preserved line on this island, and if it was not for their help we would not be able to bring you accurate renditions of forthcoming models like the A Class. Please give what you can to ensure our railway heritage is protected!

Thanks,

It almost looks like I know what I'm doing in that photo... 

As Fran has said, The Downpatrick & County Down Railway are good friends of IRM and without their vital assistance, along with that of the Irish Traction Group, it would have been far more difficult to bring projects such as the A Class to fruition.

Reads on phone ..."Once superglue has cured, bond can only be broken with extreme forces... "

The A class should be up to the task
