Help keep 7822 moving.

Foxcote Manor’s overhaul is a chance to be part of something genuinely special, and we need both skilled hands and enthusiastic newcomers to make it happen. Whether you can swing a hammer, turn a spanner, weld, paint, or simply bring energy and willingness to learn, there’s a place for you in the team.

Every contribution, from detailed engineering work to basic cleaning and preparation, helps move this iconic locomotive closer to steaming again. Joining the effort means preserving heritage, gaining new skills, and becoming part of a welcoming community that shares a passion for keeping history alive.
