73050 CITY OF PETERBOROUGH OVERHAUL APPEAL<\/p>\n
Now in her 55th year in preservation, the locomotive has been overhauled three times. The current work started in <\/a>2017 and has progressed to the stage where re-assembly of the frames, wheels and motion is gathering momentum in the NVR workshops at Wansford. The boiler, with the 70-year old steel fabric needing a most comprehensive overhaul,<\/p>\n Help is Needed<\/p>\n Thanks to generous donations from individuals and from the Peterborough City Council the overhaul has been able to proceed quite well, although the Covid-19 pandemic has had direct and indirect effects. But we need more money, the estimated cost to complete the overhaul is over \u00a3500,000 and funds are currently about half that amount. We\u2019re running a series of programmes to suit all pockets.. We hope that one of them will appeal to your kindness.<\/p>\n
