Join one of the P2 fundraising clubs

Join one of the P2 fundraising clubs to make a really meaningful contribution to the build of Prince of Wales. The money you donate to a club is ring-fenced to be used for the engineering of that particular component*.

*Should fundraising for a particular compenent exceed it's target, the funds will be re-directed towards the overall project to build a P2.

The Monobloc Club

Progress on the construction of our new Gresley class P2 ‘Mikado’ is moving forward rapidly. Design work for the extensively modified and improved cylinder block is complete, and the monobloc fabrication is currently under construction.

The Boiler Club

The boiler is the beating heart of a steam locomotive and to keep the construction of No. 2007 Prince of Wales on schedule for completion within the next three years we ordered the boiler in June 2019 for delivery in 2022.

The Tender Club

A steam locomotive’s tender carries the coal and water essential for its operation. The tender for No. 2007 Prince of Wales is based closely on the tender built for A1 class No. 60163 Tornado. The original P2 tenders were to the 1930s non-corridor design built for the new A3 ‘Pacifics’ being built at that time.

The Injectors Club

No. 2007 Prince of Wales will require both a live and exhaust steam injector. Using a series of converging and diverging cones, a live steam injector is used to deliver cold water into the boiler against its own pressure, using its boiler steam with no moving parts.
