STEAM enthusiasts are being given the chance to play their part in history by sponsoring a component on a brand new locomotive.
The A1 Steam Locomotive Trust is currently building a new Gresley class P2 No. 2007 Prince of Wales loco and for a limited time parts will be available for sponsorship to the general public.
Parts range from £25 nuts and bolts to a £12,000 driving wheel casting
Mark Allatt, Trust chairman, said the sponsorship is the ideal Christmas present for railway enthusiasts and the recipient will receive a drawing of the component and certificate, with the dedication worded however the giver wishes.
