762 Club - Auction ended

The auction is now over - we will be announcing the winner shortly.

Accucraft, the well known manufacturer of live steam locomotives and rolling stock, supported the L&B May Gala at Woody Bay. To celebrate the success of their L&B portfolio of products they very kindly donated to the 762 Club a live steam model of ‘Lyn’ (inclusive of radio) to help raise funds to assist the building of the new locomotive.

The 762 Club held a silent auction of the 1:19 scale locomotive and controller and invited sealed bids for this superb product. The recommended retail sales price for the locomotive and controller is approx. £1,375. The silent auction was open until 31st May.  The monies raised will be going directly to support of the manufacture of locomotive components.

Graham Langer of Accucraft said, “As well as producing a limited edition model to raise funds for ‘Lyd’, it gives us great pleasure to be able to help towards the construction of another iconic L&B loco and we look forward to seeing ‘Lyn’ at Woody Bay very soon”. Jon Pain from the 762 Club added “This is an incredibly generous gesture from Accucraft and one which will greatly benefit bringing ‘Lyn’ back to the L&B when we will have pleasure in inviting Graham and his colleagues onto the footplate” To view Accucraft products please visit their website www.accucraft.uk.com or call them on 01694 723799.
