The National Wagon Preservation Group (formally The MGR Appeal) are making an appeal to preserve British railway wagons.
The National Wagon Preservation Group (formally The MGR Appeal) is appealing for members and donations in order to raise funds in order to preserve a select few wagons coming up for disposal. The group's current collection comprises of two MGR coal hoppers and a RNAD box van for storage, located at The Chasewater Railway and Barrow Hill respectively.
Currently, one of the MGR hoppers, HMA 355798 is undergoing restoration back to it's original condition.
The wagons that are coming up for sale are icons of British Rail Engineering Limited; including the HEA coal hopper; OAA Basket wagon; SPA steel side coil and the BAA bogie bolster steel wagons. However without donations from the public, these wagons will be vunerable for disposal by the scrapman and we cannot sit back and let this happen.
Please offer any donations possible to [email protected] to help us preserve a peice of our British history!
