NAKLO back on track thanks to funding from the Power to Change Trust South Tynedale Railway Preservation Society is delighted to announce that a major grant has been approved by the Power to Change Trust, to restore the STR’s ex-PKP 0-6-0 steam locomotive NAKLO and to create a new microenterprise delivering Railway Experiences on the South Tynedale Railway for the first time.
Sadly until now this is something the STR has not been able to offer, but as NAKLO has a large footplate with plenty of room for four adults, this is a perfect opportunity to make our visitors’ “steam dreams” come true with a fabulous footplate experience.” The Power to Change Community Business Development Programme supports community businesses across the UK to develop fresh innovations that contribute to the growth and sustainability of the overall business.
Further funds will be raised to enhance and further develop the NAKLO Project, as the restoration gets underway and the opportunity to deliver Railway Experiences from 2019 draws near.
