Fund aims to build a Riddles Class 3 2-6-2 tank to be based on the Severn Valley Railway.We already have a number of components and a useful library of engineering drawings, and if we can achieve the necessary funding, 82045 could be running within a very few years'time. It is our intention that this locomotive should break new ground by being the precursor of small-scale series production of new steam engines suitable for use on heritage lines in the UK.Existing locos will not last for ever: we believe that this is the only way to assure a future for working steam in this country. We also believe that the Standard Class 3 tank is ideal for the purpose, as well as plugging a gap in preservation
