Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Company

Annual Report of the Board of Trustees from 1[st] October 2022 to 30[th] September 2023.

Introduction

The Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Company is a company limited by guarantee managed by a board of trustees elected by its members. Membership is open to all on payment of an annual subscription or as a life member. The company is also a registered educational charity.

The principal objects of the company are defined in its memorandum of association which states:

The company is established to advance the education of the public with regard to a history of Suffolk, and the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway in particular, by collecting, preserving, interpreting and documenting material evidence and associated information by the maintenance of a museum for items of historic railway interest, and by the restoration, maintenance and operation of a demonstration railway and the display and demonstration of railway equipment, operations and engineering crafts and in the furtherance of the foregoing objective the company will be vested with the powers of operation of the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway.

To fulfil these aims the company administers the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Museum at Brockford Station, Wetheringsett, Stowmarket, Suffolk. The museum site together with just over nine hundred metres of former railway route is currently held on a thirty-year lease signed on the 1[st] November 2012 and now has just 18years 5months to run.

The company is a member of the Heritage Railway Association, the Association of Independent Museums, the Association of Suffolk Museums and Community Action Suffolk

Personnel and management

The Board of Trustees met six times during the above period.

At the 2021-22 AGM meeting held on 3[rd] June 2023 there were no trustees requiring re-election. Mr Pete Connor was elected to the board.

Following the meeting the Board consisted of 9 trustees.

There were two resignations from the Board during the reporting period, Mr Steven Davies, and Mr John Stark.

Following the Annual General Meeting the Trustees were: Mr I. Meigh Chairman Mr D. Bates Vice Chairman Mr. D. Clayton Company Secretary Mr. J. Price Treasurer. Mr. C. Baddeley Mr. J. Holmes Mr J. Reeve Mr W. Wicks Mr P. Connor

The board continues to complete its short-, medium- and long-term plans to advance the company objectives. Railway track construction and maintenance, locomotive and rolling stock restoration and maintenance and the maintenance of the railway buildings continue to be led by project leaders operating to a budget and reporting to the board on a regular basis.

Membership

2024

Following a review of life-members Membership numbers have reduced slightly to 497. Existing members have generally continued to renew their membership, often including generous donations with their subscriptions.

The scheme providing local residents, on application, special tickets giving free entry to the museum, except for special events has continued to be operated.

Finance

The company’s gross income including donations, restoration appeals, and legacy payments was £118,798.00.

The Middy Trading Company transferred £38,999 from their trading profits for the year.

The company operated without a financial reserve.

A Summary of Accounts for the year ended 30[th] September 2023 is provided separately.

Achievements

We were fortunate to be one of the recipients of a generous legacy and in September 2017 received an interim payment of £99,450 with the final payments still to be made.

The Santa Specials operated on six days in 2022, the 2[nd] , 3[rd] , 9[th] , 10[th] , 16[th] , &17th of December in-spite of some very cold sub-zero weather and our crews and volunteers must be commended for ensuring all trains ran if a little off timetable. Total visitor numbers were increased from 2021 figures at a total of 1,615 attendees showing an overall profit of £14,924.41

The operating year 2022 - 2023 saw steam locomotives running, with the TRAM 2525, Hudswell Clarke 1700 Wissington and Peckett 0-4-0T “Marcia” operating the public services which ran throughout the 2022 Santa specials, 2023 Easter and summer events programme. The boiler overhaul for Y7 985 has continued off site by a contractor appointed by the Y7 Locomotive Trust. The diesel locomotives have proved invaluable for shunting and works trains, with the Ruston 165 and Fowler being available. They have also acted as back up when issues with Wissington meant that the Tram was called into service and needed help on some steam days. Maintenance work was carried out on all operating locomotives throughout the year, and work on 1604 Hudswell Clarke’s boiler has continued at the contractor’s works and will soon be returned.

Members continue to donate towards the cost of renting the industrial unit at Brockford where it provides essential workshop and storage space, enabling restoration work to be carried out under cover.

The workshop team have now completed restoration of the 5 bar gates 40 and 39 along the line extension and carried out repairs to the public footpath crossing gates ensuring that the close properly on both sides. The team have also constructed a gas bottle cage, repaired the gates on the back of the Mid-Suffolk brake van and have been heavily involved in the installation of the metal post and wire fence being erected along-side the track extension. Tools and equipment continue to be acquired, some by donation, to assist with the restoration work.

Carriage & Wagon. Vehicles 12 & 13 were used throughout the year on passenger services. Towards the end of the season the roof of 13 started to show signs that water was getting in, and the decision has been taken to replace the roof before 2023 Santa specials. The Toad brake van and MSLR brake were used on occasion to increase capacity of the train. Following the previous incumbent’s resignation the railway needs to appoint a new carriage and wagon manager and in the interim maintenance was carried out carried out by volunteers.

The restoration shed and engineering team has spent a large part of their time identifying and resolving issues with Wissington and the tram to ensure that events could proceed. They are all highly

Page 2 of 4 05 August

2024

commended for their efforts. Unfortunately, this meant that progress on Hudswell Clarke loco number 1604 was delayed although the boiler has now been returned and is waiting to be lifted on to its frame, The underframe of the Y7 locomotive has been returned to the restoration shed and will be cleaned and painted some weeks before the overhauled boiler is returned from the NNR (currently expected to be Q2 2024). The loco water tanks and boiler cladding have been cleaned and repainted. All other components removed have been overhauled and cleaned as required.

The Bagnall locomotive had reached the end of its 10-year boiler ticket and the owners family arranged for it to be removed and transferred to the North Norfolk Railway where it be a static asset for their junior club.

The tram loco did sustain some frost related damage during December 2022 cracking a valve casing which was successfully repaired and has been kept available for use for the summer events if needed.

The PW routine maintenance of fish plates, points, chairs, and keys was completed along with any repairs or replacements.

Sleeper replacements continued as necessary both within the Brockford station area and at Dovebrook including the siding. Dovebrook storage area has continued to be sorted and tidied up and a storage shed installed. Plans have been proposed for a second siding at Dovebrook to increase our rolling stock storage capacity.

As a result of the hard work and planning from the Permanent way team and their manager Mr T Siemers between 16[th] and 31[st] January 2023 TES 2000 were able to complete laying the track extension to the site that will be Aspal Halt station. This was a major operation that was years in the planning and once opened for public trains will be a real difference to the railway.

The web site continued to be maintained by Mr J. Reeve as webmaster.

The Museum accreditation by the Arts Council remains in place although we will be asked to renew shortly, probably during 2024 and will have 6 months to complete the application. The new museum team of archivist/manager, display manager and assistant continue to manage the Museum’s collection in conformance with the SPECTRUM standards and have been able to work on improving documentation and procedures, as well as answering queries from researchers.

The management structure, with six management committees reporting to the Board, involves more of the volunteers in the operation of the organisation. Scheduled Trustee meetings have occurred on alternate months throughout this reporting period, and they review the reports from each management group. A new monthly managers meeting has also been set up to improve cross department communication and cooperation.

The refreshment room, bar and shop were open during the 2022 season and are an essential part of our site facilities.

The running of the 100 Plus Club has been taken over by Mr R. Boardman and continues to be supported by the members and has been raising funds for many years.

The 2022-23 maintenance programme included the installation of a 21m access ramp at Dovebrook. The ramp was designed, and the parts made by an outside company and then delivered to our site as a kit to be constructed in 3 main sections. Large concrete pads were prepared in advance and part of Dovebrook platform widened to allow for wheelchairs to exit the guards van. The whole kit was transported by flatbed wagon from Brockford to Dovebrook to be manhandled into position and assembled. This structure has given access to our picnic site and photographic area to those with mobility issues and pushchairs. The fencing was also repaired and painted with new removable sections installed to facilitate Santa’s wagons. There has been the ever-present battle against the invasion of brambles and weeds, trees, shrubs and bushes that insist on growing on and across the track, and Nigel Pulham and his LANTRA trained volunteers have continued with this fight.

Middy Trading Company

The Middy Trading Company is an incorporated company and maintains its own accounts which MSLR do not receive. However, as its purpose is to raise funds by various means including

Page 3 of 4 05 August

2024

commercial activities to provide funding support for the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway the Board of Trustees thank them for their continued support and donations. The Santa Specials are formally run by the MTC under licence from the MSLR.

During the reporting period the Middy Trading Company continued to transfer funds to the MidSuffolk Light Railway Company. The Board of Trustees values greatly the vital contribution that the Middy Trading Company makes to the success of the Mid-Suffolk Light Railway Company.

Conclusion

The years 2022/2023 have seen the company make progress in spite of some very difficult issues not least the very cold weather of December 2022 and January 2023 and issues that developed with Wissington. The Board wish to express their gratitude to all of our volunteers who worked so hard to ensure that our visitors had a great experience.

The Santa Specials in December 2022 helped bring in additional sources of income which, along with the generous donations, membership subscriptions and the sleeper & locomotive restoration appeals, have provided essential funding for work on the line extension and enhancement of the Museum. Visitor numbers are starting to recover, slowly, but with prudent financial management and support from our membership the railway remains financially secure.

The rental of an industrial unit continues to facilitate restoration and storage of artefacts and is a facility that can be expanded upon. The restoration of our steam locomotive, 1604 continues in the Restoration Shed and is progressing well.

Relationship with the local communities remains good and the scheme to provide local residents with free entry continues to enhance this relationship, with Friday night bars a great community asset.

The continued progress of the museum is dependent on the support of the members and especially on the active volunteers and the Board again wish to record their thanks. It is also vital for our future development that we attract new members and that more choose to become active volunteers. The planned projects and expansion of events impose a heavy load on the existing volunteers and unless more can be found, particularly those willing to take on the responsible management roles, future expansion of the railway will be difficult. Currently there are around one hundred active volunteers, who gave 13,850 recorded hours of their time. There is, however, always more to do and new volunteers would be very welcome.

Stocks and work in Stocks held for sale as part of non-charitable trade are measured at the lower or cost or progress net realisable value.

Goods or services provided as part of a charitable activity are measured at net realisable value based on the service potential provided by items of stock.

Work in progress is valued at cost less any foreseeable loss that is likely to occur on the contract.
