If you would like to make a donation using bank transfer, please complete the following form. Your details will be e-mailed to us and we will respond with bank account details. Fields marked with an * are mandatory fields.
If you would prefer to pay by PayPal, then follow this link to our online shop. PayPal will take a percentage of your donation so if you want all of your donation to go to the building of Hengist, bank transfer is better.
Gift Aid is a scheme which allows the Clan Project to claim from HMRC, the basic rate of tax their donors have paid. Gift Aid increases the value of donations by 25%, so it means even more money goes to the project – and it won't cost you extra. To allow us to claim Gift Aid, you must be a UK taxpayer and supply your address.

Our Current Appeals are
Front Bogie
This appeal is to build the front bogie which is the next stage in our build plan. Currently the design team are converting the British Railways drawings into CAD models. We are also seeking quotes from suppliers. An interesting challenge will be the rectangular section (i.e. not round) springs that control the horizontal movement of the bogie. You can view the components we need at the bogie appeal page. If you would like to sponsor any component, large or small, please get in touch!

Dragbox
Once the components connected with the bogie frame have been ordered, our attention turns to the components around dragbox at the rear of the frames. This includes the hind beam, rubbing plates and block and the substantial gussets that transfer the weight of the rear of the engine to the pony truck.
