Support the Churchward County Trust Project
There are several ways in which you can support the project to build County of Montgomery, with appeals running to suit all pockets. We are well aware that the current economic climate will have a bearing on donations, and are therefore very grateful for whatever you can afford to give. Our current appeals include:
The Cylinders Club
The Cylinders Club aims to raise the £40,000 needed to finance the production of No. 3840’s cylinders including the manufacture of the polystyrene patterns, the casting of the two cylinder blocks and the final machining. Membership of the Cylinders Club is set at £1,000, payable in a lump sum or in 10, 20 or 40 monthly installments by standing order.
See the separate ‘Cylinders Club’ page for details and an application form, or follow this link.
Inch for an Axle Appeal
No. 3840 will require two new coupled wheel axles to be manufactured and machined; the order for which has been placed with Riley & Son (E) of Heywood. Each axle will be 5ft 8 1/4in long, and to help pay for them we are inviting supporters to sponsor the axles by the inch. Each inch can be sponsored for £120, which can be paid for in a lump sum or in installments of £60 or £30 per month.
If you would like to sponsor an inch or more, please download a sponsor form here.
Driving Wheel Tyre Fund
The Driving Wheel Tyre Fund has been set up to help finance the cost of the four 6ft 8 1/2in tyres for County of Montgomery’s coupled wheels, and their fitting, through donations of £500. These can be made as one-off donations, or in five installments of £100 or 10 installments of £50.
A donation form for the Driving Wheel Tyre Fund can be downloaded here.
Driving Crank Fund
Our Driving Crank Fund is running in parallel to the Driving Wheel Tyre Fund to finance the manufacture and fitting to the four crank pins for No. 3840’s coupled wheels. The fund seeks donations of £300, made either as one-off donations, or in three installments of £100 or five installments of £60.
A donation form for the Driving Wheel Tyre Fund can be found here.
Bogie Wheel Fund
The Bogie Wheel Fund aims to raise the required funding to overhaul and re-tyre the two donated 3ft 2in wheelsets that will eventually form part of No. 3840’s bogie assembly. The fund seeks donations of £300, made either as one-off donations, or in three installments of £100 or five installments of £60.

A County for the Cost of a Coffee
Our County for the Cost of a Coffee a Week Covenantor scheme has been set up to enable donors to make small, regular donations – the equivalent of a high street cup of coffee a week — over a sustained period. By regularly donating from as little as £10 per month (£2.50 a week), we will be able to better forecast a regular income stream, which in turn will greatly aid our forward planning and continued progress.
See the ‘A County for a Coffee’ page for more details, or download an application form here.

Annual membership of the Trust is set at £20 for a single membership, £30 for a joint/family membership (2+2) or £500 for life membership. All members will be eligible to vote at the CCT’s annual general meetings and will receive copies of the Trust’s bi-annual magazine. Benefits include:
