Our needs: A covered restoration base

The need

We need covered acomodation in which parts can be restored.  This could be as simple as a steel-framed 'work and shelter' tunnel shed costing £17k minus transport and erection.  Sponsorship welcome such as a package including the building's name.  


We also need a shed in which 58022 can be disassembled, items stored, then 10000 constructed.  We would like to be able to invite donors and interested members of the public to inspect progress at such a site.  


There are three options detailed here.If a company would like to sponsor the shed we would be keen to discuss a mutually beneficial arrangement with them.  If such a shed was large then we would be interested in sharing the facility with other heritage groups, subject to agreements.
If you are able to assist us with a suitable building, please contact us at  info@LMS10000.co.uk or on 0755I62I685

1. Building donated

The cheapest option would be to locate a suitable existing steel framed building that could be donated to the society.  We estimate it would cost £30k to transport and reassemble a building. 

2. Build from scratch

Building a new shed would give us a purpose built facility, but would be the most expensive option. We estimate that a new building would cost around £100k.  

3. An existing building

We do not necessarily need a building linked to a railway line in order to store and restore parts and equipment.  We would be happy to consider options to use industrial units as a restoration and storage base.
