Double the value of your contributions to our essential Carriage Shed

We have received an incredibly generous offer from a great supporter of the Middy. He has offered to match-fund any donation to the Dovebrook Carriage Shed Appeal up to a total of £25,000.00. Therefore any contribution would be doubled and, if it can be gift aided, even better still.

Our plan is to start the second siding in January 2027, but to do that we need to be sure funds are in place soon so that TES2000, our track laying contractors, can be booked in time. With this match funding offer making every pound worth two and even more with Gift Aid we have every chance of making this target date.

The Mid-Suffolk Light Railway’s Victorian coaches are all well over 100 years old and the oldest, no. 140 the first class smoking coach at 163 years, is thought to be the oldest Great Eastern Railway vehicle in regular use. Without constant maintenance wooden coaches soon regress to their former state.
