The Princess Royal Class Locomotive Trust is dedicated to preserving, restoring, and operating some of the most significant locomotives and historic railway rolling stock in the country. Every steaming, every restoration project, and every educational experience at WEST SHED is made possible through the generosity of supporters like you.
There are many ways to get involved — and every contribution, whether practical or financial, helps safeguard this remarkable heritage for future generations.
Make a Donation
One-off donations provide vital support for ongoing restoration and conservation work. Whether you’re helping to fund specialist engineering, original parts, or workshop materials, your contribution has a direct, lasting impact.
A small monthly donation can make a big difference. Regular support helps us plan long-term restorations, maintain operational locomotives, and continue developing our workshop and museum spaces.
By setting up a monthly gift, you become a sustaining part of the Trust — helping ensure our locomotives stay in steam for years to come.
We welcome partnerships with companies who share our passion for engineering, education, heritage, or community involvement. Sponsorship can support:
Locomotive and carriage restorations
Conservation of historic artefacts
Educational and outreach programmes
Heritage railtour operations
Corporate supporters benefit from brand visibility, event opportunities, staff engagement days, and alignment with a nationally recognised heritage organisation.
