Introduction
Porthmadog
Russell in the platform headshunt,
Porthmadog station. 1999.
Hunslet 2-6-2T "Russell", built in 1906, is the only surviving locomotive from the original Welsh Highland Railway. It is now back on home territory at the Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog).
We restored the loco to working order in 1987. But "Russell" now needs boiler work and major maintenance on its driving wheels and motion. The total cost of this work is estimated at £30,000.
Please help us raise money to pay for this work. All donations of any size are gratefully received! If you are an income tax payer, we can get the tax man to help as well through Gift Aid. If you sign the appropriate part of the form, we can claim back 28p extra for every pound you give, so a donation of £1 is worth £1.28.
Thank you!

Tax Benefits from your Gifts
Under new rules from 6 April 2000 any gift can qualify for a tax repayment of 28p for every pound to the Company, if you are a UK taxpayer. There is no need to sign a deed of covenant for regular payments, and there is now no minimum for one-off payments. All you need to do is complete the simple declaration below. You should only do this if you are sure you will pay enough income tax in the year to cover the tax repayments. Higher rate taxpayers can continue to claim higher rate tax relief on their tax returns.
| Examples: | Your donation | £10 | £20 | £50 | £100 | £250 |
| Tax refund | £2.80 | £5.60 | £14 | £28 | £70 | |
| Total value | £12.80 | £25.60 | £64 | £128 | £320 |
|
To: Welsh Highland Railway Ltd (registered charity no. 1039817) I want you to treat all donations I have made since 6 April 2000, and all donations I make from the date of this declaration until I notify you otherwise as Gift Aid donations. | ||

Give As You Earn
For the next three years the UK government will add 10% to all donations through the Give As You Earn payroll deduction scheme. Under this scheme you can make a donation out of pre-tax income and basic rate tax relief is given through the PAYE system. Please ask if your employer operates a scheme.
Example: you donate £12.80 per month and your net pay reduces by £10 per month. The total donations to charity will be £12.80 + 10% = £14.08 (less any administration charges).
Data Protection & Your Privacy
We will keep a record of your name and address and donation(s) on a computer. Data so held will not be released to third parties, but we may contact you from time to time regarding the progress of this appeal.
