There are two main ways in which you can support us, one is by becoming a member of the Thompson B1 Locomotive Trust, the other is by making a donation.
We always welcome new membership applications because it means more engagement with our cause, and a regular monthly income for the locomotive which is the best thing you can do to help keep us rolling along.
To become a member, please see our Membership page for details.
