The LMS-Patriot Project has for the second year in succession been nominated for an HRA/Steam Railway Readers' Award. Issue 392 of Steam Railway Magazine lists the 32 projects that have been nominated by readers of Steam Railway magazine for the 2011 award. A shortlist of the 3 Projects will be formed after SR readers have cast their votes.
The LMS-Patriot Project has been recognised having made significant progress this year with the casting of six new driving wheels, thanks to a pattern loaned by Tyseley Loco Works. The Project has been able to fundraise for the new driving wheels and other components including the tyres, crank axle, axles, and crank pins which will enable the wheelsets to be assembled at the South Devon Railway. This will then allow most of the rolling chassis to be assembled in 2012 at the Llangollen Railway Works, where the frames are currently being assembled.
If you think the The LMS-Patriot Project is worthy of your vote please complete and return the form on page 20 of SR No. 392 (published on August 19th 2011).
