Lab 4 Hastings Restoration Fund

Hello

We are currently restoring Lab 4 Hastings at the Battlefield line railway at Shackerstone, there is a plan for the carriage to be used by the railway at Market Bosworth but the restoration is taking priority first. 

Lab 4 Hastings was converted in the 1970s by Derby Rail Techinical Centre as part of the APT project and is unique, it was converted from a Hastings DEMU Buffet Coach we are currently undertaking restoration of the carriage. 

We have plans to get the first part of the coach fully fitted out with glass and new interior window surrounds.

My question to you all, is that would you (in return for recognition inside the coach when complete) donate towards the cost of new windows, we estimate these will cost between £30-£50 per pane.

There are nine panes plus a couple of smaller windows required, four in the empty end we are currently working on, then a further five in the other end which is currently a way off.

Thank you.
