Welcome to the "Wightwick Hall" Restoration Group Website. Updated 25th January 2012 "Wightwick Hall" is under restoration at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Quainton. The aim of this website is to provide information on: the history of 6989; progress of the restoration; the support groups and fundraising activity and how you can help put this magnificent engine back in steam. Look in regularly, we update at least twice per month. We regularly place new pictures around the website. Any contribution can be sent to the webmaster at wightwickhall6989@sky.com Subject to continued funding through sales activity and general donations, the 6989 Committee are aiming for full restoration by late 2013. Why not do your bit for posterity and help us along the last lap to put this magnificent locomotive back in steam?  See the Support Group page for boiler component sponsorship opportunities and the Work in Progress page for opportunities to help with the restoration work.
