The NYMR Foundation

The NYMR Foundation allows existing members to get even closer to the railway. With a suggested minimum donation of £20 per month your support will make a significant and vital contribution to the railway. Regular donations are vital to help give us financial security and enable us to plan the big and small infrastructure projects that the Foundation supports.

With your help as a valued Foundation member, the Trust will be able to continue to develop and improve, preserve and enhance what the railway has to offer for future generations.

Your contribution will go directly into The NYMR Foundation Development Fund. This dedicated fund will be used exclusively to support the work on the range of infrastructure and rolling stock:

  • Bridges – under or over the line, metal, brick, stone or wood
  • Signals and the cabling, pulleys, wheels and signal boxes which operate them
  • Track bed and the tracks themselves
  • Sheds and workshops
  • Rolling stock – locomotives, carriages, freight

"The Foundation is a great way to support the railway through regular payments whilst meeting like minded people at the social events." Jim Dedicoat, Life Vice President

As a thank you for helping the NYMR to achieve its crucial heritage goals, Foundation members receive extra benefits including: regular updates and an invitation to 4 special events per year. We focus on visits to see the projects that your donations have helped support so that you can see the impact that your money has made in person. Previous events have included guided tours of the Motive Power Depot and Carriage and Wagon Workshops and talks by guest speakers).
