Castles For The Future

Visitors to the NRM's '1968 An All That' remarked at how wonderful Clun Castle looked, and added that it ought to be back on the mainline. Birmingham Railway Museum Trustees want to do just that, however they need your help.

An appeal fund to overhaul 7029 Clun Castle entitled 'Castles For The Future' was formally launched at the Tyseley 100 Open Weekend in June 2008.

The overhaul has started, but will only progress as far as funds permit.

Further contributions will help to return to the main line this star of the 1964 'Farewell to Steam on the Western'.

Who knows? It may even get a chance to have another crack at that epic run!

With your help we could try to make it happen?
