The Charity's principal office and registered address is The Old Goods Shed, Williton Stslion, Willilon, SOMERSET, TA4 4RQ. Objectlves and actlvltles The Company and Charity meets its principal artivity by maintaining and operating a Diesel Traction Depot al Williton on the Wesl Somerset Railway, which is home to the Charity's own fleet of six former British Rail IBRI mainline diesel locomotives dating from the early 1960s. The D&EPG also manages under contract an additional two ex-BR locomotives based at Willilon that are in the private ownership of a group member and one former industrial shunting locomotive that Is owned by the West Somersel Railway IWSRI. The fleet regularfy operates both public service and infraslruclure trains on The WSR. The late 1950s l early 1960s represent a very distinct and important period of change on Britain's railways as a result of the post-war Modernisation Plan and the wholesale replacement of steam traction wth early diesel locomotives. especially on the former British Railways Western Region where a unique approach was adopted. The D&EPG believes that il is both educationally and historically important that our locomotives from this period are able to be demonstrated to the public in a living, Working heritage setting. The D&EPG fulfils a cruual supporting role to the WSR plc, making locomotives available lo them on an 85 required basis and in support of their operations 365 days 8 year. Operating our depot and locomotives also enables both current and former railway staff lo relain, develop and share their skills with colleagues and the general public and provides an ex¢eplional environment of camaraderie including occasional social events and ne￿OrkIng with other heritage railways and operating groups. The diesel depot is staffed on Tuesdays, Saturdays and occasional other days by a core of some 20 active volunteers, several of whom are currenly professional or former professional railway staff and who are drawn from a nationwde membership of over 300 supporting members. The charity's depot Is frequently open to the public for viewing as operation81 considerations and safely permit.

THE DIESELAND ELECTRIC PRESERVATION GROUP LTD TRUSTEES REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS, REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 Achievements and perforniance Flnanclal revlew The year in review represented a consolidation with D1661 and both Hymeks out of traffic for the majority of the year, and the return of D9526 back from the hire at the Kent & East Sussex Railway IK&ESRI. Diesel locomotive running on the West Somerset Railway IWSRI continued to see a summer diesel gala and the regular weekend diesel-hauled services, resulting in mileage receipts of £30,70012022". £30,1501. Our Clas5 14 'Teddy Bear, D9526 completed a long term hire on the K&ESR and our Class 47 D1661 47077 'NORTH STAR, whilst Continuing lo run on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway INYMRI, had a lengthy overhaul so was not out earning as much as the previous year. however the overhaul was at minimal Cost lo the group and we are very grateful to the NYMR for their assistsn¢e with the work undertaken. This gave a reduced total locomotive running income of £34.48012022'. £67,337). Donations clirnbed significantly to £65,05412022." £33,960) including contributions tolalling £25,13612022." £22,618) to two targeted fund-raising campaigns that were continued from the previous two years, one for the restoration of Class 14 'Teddy Bear.

Donations lo these two funds are classified as Restricted Funds and can only be applied lo the project for which they were donated. After deducting expenditure on parts and materials for each project ID9518'. £7,481..

The nel income from sales of books, DEPG-branded clothing and collectible items via the DEPG online store and through direct sales at events declined slightly to £6,399 12022.. £6,833), reflecting the continuing pressure on discretionary purchases. The number of members increased during the year, from 296 in January 2023 to 317 by the end of the year, and this continuing trend is attributed to the raised profile of the group resulting from regular e-mailings and website updates combined with improved social media coverage. However, membership revenue reduced to £5,58612022'. £7,303) due to the absence of the'catch up, effect that had boosted membership income in 2022. With the improved earning potential of the Group, the level of investment in infrastructure al Willilon has increased significantly, wth a new Oil Store being constructed, complete with spillage protection, for a lolal capital cost of £7,5821£1,466 of which was capilalised in 20221. An opportunity was taken lo acquire five 40-ft shipping containers for future use as storage facilities. The cost of moving these Containers resulted in an expense of £7,700 which represents good value for the items acquired. Plans lo acquire new 20-ft shipping contsiners lo replace life-expired units at Williton were deferred to 2024. Our locomotive fleet dales back to the earfy 1960s and spare parts are becoming more difficult lo obtain as each year passes. The Group became aware of opportunities to acquire spare parts from other heritage railway groups that were scaling down, the result being that spare parts lo the value of £4,289 12022.. NIL) were acquired and added lo stock. The Group intends to continue to commit funds lo the expansion of the spare parts stock - bul on an opportunistic basis. The Old Goods Shed at WIllVcon remains out of use due to further deterioration of the roof structure, repairs of which are likely to cost in excess of £150,000. Plans for the restoration and change of use of this 1862 Grade 11 listed structure are in progress wth the aim of allracting support from other organisations, but the future plans and costs have not yel been established so this liability remains our best eslimale. A provision of £250,000 has been allocated to this project lo cover the rising costs assouated with the work required. Considering all sources of income and after deducting expenditu￿, the resutt was a healthy operating surplus of £16,045 12022.. £47,333 excluding the £250,000 provision) during a year of heavy expenditure. This includes a reduction in restricted ftjnds of £2.298 12022.. increase of £10.7361 which was offset against the appropriate reserves for planned projects and major locomotive overhauls.
