Every donation will receive a certificate stating the donors name and amount donated. Any Donation of £250 or more will have the donators name engraved on a plaque that will be mounted in the generator compartment on D8233. They will also receive a certificate.

The highest single donation will receive a ‘V' of pistons from D8233's original power unit that will be mounted on a plinth. These are two pistons that have actually run in the power unit of D8233 in BR service and have since seized into their ‘V' formation.
