No.5 Mona Project

The frames of the locomotive were delivered back to the railway today and are now stored in the goods shed at Port St. Mary Station to allow volunteer work to commence.  A visit has been made by Association representatives to ascertain what will be required. Our volunteers will be on site to begin work in de-greasing and de-scaling the inside of the frames prior to applying the paint.  It must be stressed that our volunteer activities will not include the final painting which will be done professionally. Can you help us? Donations to the No.5 project or any of the other various schemes currently ongoing can be made at our website   HERE  where full details are also available

Thanks to Fred Quaye for this selection of views from 26th January 2022 showing the frames of No,.5 being lifted at Balthane and returning to the railway at Port St. Mary. The boiler is presently stored at Port Erin on the well wagon.
