THE 82045 STEAM LOCOMOTIVE TRUST

(Company limited by guarantee)

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS are shown on page 1 of these financial statements.

THE TRUSTEES who served the company during the period were those detailed on page 1 of these financial statements.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 7 April 2009.

The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust was established to secure the building of a British Railways Riddles 82000 class 3MT 2-6-2 tank locomotive. All the locomotives of this class were scrapped following the end of steam traction on British Railways in 1968. Unlike many of the current new-build projects, which are aiming to recreate larger main-line locomotives, this locomotive was designed for use on branch lines and is ideally suited for use on heritage railways.

The project started life in the late 1990's under the aegis of John Besley, a fireman on the South Devon Railway, who worked hard to get the project off the ground. However, in 2003, work and family commitments forced him to hand over the controls to Tony Massau and Chris Proudfoot, Cheshire-based footplatemen on the Severn Valley Railway (SVR). Sadly, Chris Proudfoot passed away in May 2022. Tony Massau continues to be actively involved and the Trust is also pleased to announce that Neil Taylor, former head of engineering at the Severn Valley Railway, has been appointed the new chair of the 82045 Trust.

The Committee is made up entirely of volunteer trustees committed to bringing the project to fruition. Although based on the SVR, the Trust is a completely independent body.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

The trustees are elected at the Annual General Meeting.

Trustee induction and training

Induction and training are provided as required, depending on the role to be undertaken and the skills of the trustee.

Risk management

The Management Committee has conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff and volunteers.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT) (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Trustees have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing its aims and objectives and in planning its future activities.

The driving force behind the 82045 project is that, without an initiative of this kind, the days of working steam are numbered: the surviving BR Standard locomotives are now over sixty years old. With all the attendant problems of maintenance and repair that age will increasingly bring, the ability of the current fleet to provide day-to-day services for another sixty years is likely to be both challenging and costly. The task could perhaps be easier were they to work alongside newly-built engines that can shoulder some of the burden. The aim of the 82045 project is thus to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to see working examples of steam locomotives that worked on the many suburban and rural lines that, prior to the 1960’s, existed throughout the UK.

The 45 engines of the 82000-series were numbered 82000 - 82044 inclusive. The Trust is in the process of building the next member of the class, 82045, for use on the Severn Valley Railway, where the project is based.

Success with this project would perhaps also open the door to the recreation of the elegant BR Riddles Class 3 77000 2-6-0, another long-lost type which is eminently well suited to service on today's heritage lines.

The Trustees have no personal ambitions with 82045: the Trust simply wants to see it built as soon as possible and in service on the SVR, as well as on hire to other heritage lines subject to agreement with the SVR and the Trust. The SVR is considered to be an ideal home for the locomotive: it has a 16-mile operating length and considerable steam railway engineering know-how; and it is also historically correct, since examples of the 82000 class regularly worked over the line from their introduction in 1952 right through to the early 1960s.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The construction continued in 2021 to be affected by the restrictions associated with the Covid virus. Full access to the locomotive by the engineering volunteers was not achieved until the end of April.

During and after the removal of Covid restrictions progress continues to be made on the firebox and boiler construction by the SVR engineering staff.

Once the volunteers were able to return, work was undertaken on a wide range of projects, notably the large volume of pipework required for the lubrication systems and the brake cylinders. Other projects included the sand ejectors and the guard rail located in front of the wheels. A significant achievement in 2021 was the completion of both the front and rear pony trucks which were successfully fitted under the locomotive in December.

A strong and positive working relationship has developed with the staff and senior management of the SVR. The Trust is particularly appreciative of the promotional support provided by the SVR marketing team. The team have prepared several short presentations covering the construction of the locomotive which in addition to promoting the project will provide a permanent record of the process.

The Trust is concerned about the inevitable impact of inflation on the cost of components. It is endeavouring to minimise the impact by, were feasible, sourcing the components at the earliest date possible.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING THE DIRECTOR’S REPORT)

(continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with their duty to have due regard for the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, ‘Charities and public benefit’.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Trustees are happy with the levels of income and consider them to be compatible with spending plans going forward.

Investment policy

The Trustees have agreed that, when funds are available, they should be invested into the next stage of the project to build 82045.

Reserves policy

The Trustees review the unrestricted reserves of the charity on a regular basis and have approved a policy of maintaining a minimum level of reserves which they consider should be sufficient to ensure the continuity of the project.

Principal funding sources

The principal funding sources for the charity are donations, many with related Gift Aid contributions from HM Government, sponsorship, merchandise sales and other fundraising activities and promotions.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS

The charity will continue on its present course, raising funds and providing resources to ensure 82045's completion and entry into service on the SVR. The Trust is extremely fortunate in having a dedicated team of volunteers who continue to undertake a vast range of engineering work without whom the construction of 82045 would not be possible. The Trustees are also appreciative of the on-going work undertaken by various contractors, notably the work currently in progress with the SVR engineering staff on the construction of the boiler.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES

The trustees (who are also the directors of the 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the income and expenditure of the charitable company for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The 82045 Steam Locomotive Trust ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

  3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
