The Locomotive Conservation and Learning Trust
Trustees Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
Structure, Governance and Management
The advent of the pandemic and the deployment of the Chairman la serving RAF officer) for several
months to the Middle East has dr3Stically reduced the times that Trustees and Project Board have
met. Nonetheless, the use of Zoom and other virtual means have allowed the Project Board
comprising representatives of the LCLT and SRC to regularly meet and make decisions. Minutes are
maintained of each Project Board meeting.
Governing Document
The Charity is a Trust and is governed by its Deed of Trust established on 3 March 2009. It is
registered as a charity with the Charity Corllmis5ion. The Trustees have the power to admit any
constituted voluntary group or individLJal to membership and also have the power to remove
members. Trustees may permit any member to retire provided that after such retirement the
number of members is not le5S than two.
Objectives and Activities
The Locomotive Conservation 3nd Learning Trust was formed in 2009 to ensure a sustainable future
for precious railway artefacts, while at the same time facilitating learning about their history and
supporting traditional skills.
The first artefacts placed into LCLT'S care, by Beamish, The North of England Open Air Museum, are
former North Eastern Railway 'J21' 0-6-0 locomotive No. 65033 built in 1889 and NER bogie tools
van No. 2 dating from 1902. In 2019, the Trust also acquired NER coach No. 2051, which once
restored will be a suitable vehicle to operate behind the '121,. In 2022, the LCLT fleet was further
expanded by the transfer of Peckett 'Lytham' and Hunslet No.68009. Aside from the ongoing
restoration of No.65033 off site, the entire LCLT fleet is based at our host Railway, Kirkby Stephen
East in Cumbria, home of our project partners the Stainmore Railway Company.
Volunteers
The Project HG-13-21839 is being delivered in partnership with the Stainmore Railway Company
ISRCI and it is their volunteers who have been steadfastly restoring the Trust's artefact. the NER
Stores Van No.2 of 1902 vintage. The locomotive is being restored by the contractor LMS Ltd and
thus does not employ any volunteer labour.
Public benefit
Ever since formal permission to start was granted by the Ithenl Heritage Lottery Fund in November
2018 for the LCLT to begin Project HG-13-21839 the TrLJSt has been steadily restoring its two main
artefacts,. 121 locomotive No.65033 and North Eastern Railway Stores Van No.2 (erroneously listed in
past publications etc as No.55231. The project also comprises the treation of a meeting room in
Kirkby Stephen East station.
Assets and Llabllitles
The Trust was formed in 2009 ostensibly to conserve and eventually restore the above vehicles. An
additional vehicle, 1886 6-wheel coach No.2051, was obtained in 2019 when the Trust was alerted
to its existence, its good condition, and that it could be had in exchange for a shed to replace the

function it had on the previous owner's premises. In 2022, Peckett locomotive 'Lytham' was
transferred to the LCLT by the 9F Charitable Trust along with £50,000. In the same year, the previous
owners of Hunslet No.68009 transferred its ownership to the LCLT.
Achievements & Performance
During thi5 year the Trust has continued to restore the two main artefacts at the centre of Project
HG-13-21839,. the Stores Van reached a state of tompletion following its lengthy refurbishment that
began in late 2018. With the vehicle complete it awaits a new canvas roof and fitting out as a
bespoke museum display before an expected full completion the late Spring of 2023.
The121 locomotive No.65033 began a lengthy overhaul in September 2019 and progress continues
to be made on its restoration at the Locomotive Maintenance Services Ltd works in Loughborough.
Having been stripped to its many thousands of component parts the process of rebuilding is
ongoing. During the period of this report the main foti have been the refurbishment of the various
parts comprising the locomotive and the rebuilding of its tender, albeit at a slower pace due to the
capacity of the specialist contractor undertaking the work. The tender was originally expected to be
complete in the autumn of 2022, in turn allow the team to concentrate on the larger task of
completing the locomotive, bLJt by the end of this financial year that still had not been achieved.
That the capacity of LMS Ltd to carry out the restoration work has been much reduced during this
period due to other commitments is not only reflected in the protracted overhaul but also in the
lower restoration spend during this financial year compared to last.
The restoration of Coach 2051 was earmarked as a longer-term project to follow the return to steam
of 65033. Owning the coach body only, the Trust estimated some £20,000 to recreate an authentic
6-wheel chassis for it. However, the Trustees were delighted to have the opportunity to purchase in
February 2022 a 6-wheel chassis from renowned coach restorer Stephen Middleton. While requiring
some adaptation lit Is of Great Eastern Railway origin) it, and other parts donations, have saved the
TrLJSt at le3St £10,000. With the completion of the Stores Van imminent, it is expected that further
work will begin on this vehicle in 2024.
Financial Review
Receipts from supporters were lower than planned prior to the pandemic. Whereas that was once
largely due to cancellations of the shows and opportunities where fundraising would take place, the
main obstacle facing the Trust is the prolonged period before assembly of the engine itself can
begin. Once assembly of the engine starts, experienced fundraisers from other projects will work
with the Trust to spearhead a final completion push,. a common practice in line with other project
fundraising profiles. The Trust has maintained sufficient income to 'prime the pump" necessary to
maintain spending on the project for which the Heritage Fund will reimburse 91% as part of Projett
HG-13-21839.
As described above, the Trust has access to highly experienced and successful fundraisers from other
projects and will increase its fundraising activity once the focus of restoration has returned to the
engine itself and there is more certainty of when a completion date would be. The expectation is
that the Trust will adopt a higher profile at events and in the specialist media in order to raise in
excess of £70,000 from 2023 through to 2026,. ensuring project completion and starting the process
of preparing for a subsequent ten-year overhaul in the 2030s.

The isolated nature of the Trust Chairman's new job including working abroad has meant that
several invoices have been paid by the Chairman, in turn reimbursed by the Trust at the earliest
opportunity. While for expediency this device may be used occasionally henceforth it will be used
only in extremis. Similarly, various volunteers undertaking projert work (not least on the Stores Van)
have for expediency purchased low value items themselves, in turn being reimbursed by the Trust. In
each case, these purchases were appropriate and made with prior approval.
Reserves Policy
The main effort, indeed raison d'etre, of the Trust is the restoration of the J21 and Stores Van
through the Heritage Fund supported Project HG-13-21839 and the structure of the accounts
reflects this with the Current Account functioning as the mechanism by which income is received,
project bills are paid and subsequent reimbursement of Heritage Fund grant and VAT repayment is
processed.
The Reserve Account functions to maintain money to repay the Transport Trust loan made in 2011
and to Set aside any donation5 made for activities beyond the J21 project, such as the eventual
restoration of coach 2051. However, due to the annularity of the payment falling outside of the
period covered here, the repayment has not featured in this year's accounts.
Administrative Administration
The Trust's headquarters is the home of the current Chairman, Toby Watkins- Stone Flagged
Cottage, Newbiggin, Leyburn, North Yorkshire, DL8 3TD.

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP,.
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,.

comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. The procedure5 undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would

'true and fair view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

111 which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements..
