New year New drawings

Welcome to 2016 Claud fans.

We start off this year with some progress in CAD work. The CAD work shown below, which are in the first stages of modelling are: 3 different types of lamp brackets, the large 7 foot driving wheels and the Con rod. We hope to continue on with the smaller parts while the work on the frames and larger components are completed in the background.






All the Best.

Fund our frames!

You may have seen that we have been slowly pushing out our first fund raising initiative.
The front buffer beam will be the first part to be built. Now we know the exact amount we need to raise.

£1300 will be needed to completely construct and deliver the beam to Whitwell and Reepham Railway. It will be constructed in Norfolk by a company in Thetford.

After attending the NNR Spring Gala, we are well on our way to this first target but we need your help in raising the rest. 

You can can find out ways you can donate on the website. 

Thank you for your support so far.

Claud 8783 Painting by Eddy Dodwell

We were very happy to receive a painting from Eddy Dodwell a couple of years ago. He donated the painting to the group with the intent for prints to be available to help raise funds.

Prints of "Getting her fit for the king" will be available to buy in the future.

As we know the cleaning process was very lengthy, the white roof was repainted before every use.

His other work also includes paintings for the Holden F5 group and NRM A4's See his website here: http://www.eddydodwell.co.uk/the%20artist%20eddy%20dodwell%20transport.php
