How you can help
Like any form of railway preservation, considerable costs are inevitable in order to preserve and restore these machines - aside from the initial purchase and transport costs we will also have to cover storage and insurance fees.
We have a small range of merchandise available which helps you contribute in a small way, alternatively you may wish to donate a larger sum to help us get these machines up and running again soon.
Please send donations to:
OTPPG
c/o Ben Williams
11 Lewis Close

cheques should be made payable to "OTP Preservation Group".
However our needs are not simply financial - if you have any expertise in On-Track Plant maintenance or repair and could spare a few weekends to help us get our machines working again that would be enormously helpful. We have a number of technical people on board already but obviously they will not always be available so the more expertise we have the better!
Alternatively if you could help out at the early stages in cosmetically restoring the machines to make them presentable - in other words - good with sandpaper and a paintbrush (!) then we also want to hear from you! Please email us!
