NWPG Fundraiser. We need your help!
The NWPG is excited to announce a fundraiser for one former MOD PDA wagon and a bid for three HEA Hopper wagons currently on tender at Warrington
We were approached by Paul, a representative of the MOD. He was aware of the NWPG and wanted to offer us first refusal on wagons being cleared from the MOD site at Marchwood in Southampton. The group has always needed a storage van and has had two opportunities to purchase a similar wagon in the past but due to the condition or price this was out of our reach. However, a generous offer of below scrap value means we couldnt pass this opportunity up. We have already agreed a price and just need to raise the funds to pay for it and raise transport costs too.
We were also able to facilitate 10x VEA Vans (ex speedlink) to home/s but as these are for others, we will defer announcements until such time as the persons/railways are ready to announce themselves.
In regards to the 3 HEA hoppers, we expressed our interest to DB disposals in 2017, and they were then earmarked for preservation. We were hoping that this would eventually be a private tender but it was made public which means competition... We hope that other interested parties defer their interest and allow the NWPG to obtain the three wagons we have had intentions to buy for 8 years. We have set a value on the bids which we believe to be a very generous offer in the hopes that any other bidders are outbid.
