The locomotive is a Southern Region rebuilt Bulleid Pacific; there were two sorts, the lightweight West Country/Battle of Britain class, with numbers in the 34xxx series, the heavier Merchant Navy Class, with numbers starting 35xxx. It is a very blurry shot but I fancy the second digit may be a 5.

Those match-funding appeals have done well in the past so hopefully the one for March this year will repeat those performances.

I wonder what would happen if someone outside the UK were to text that number, could they donate that way (around $12.50 right now). Not that they need much outside help with fundraising, or local government support, or community buy-in, etc., etc..
