Volunteer

Much has been achieved by our small group of dedicated volunteers but we need more people who are willing to come along and help. Our team has been able to transform Loco L11 from a rusting hulk of metal into something quite special. They removed all the old flaking and discoloured paint, filled rust holes, primed, undercoated and top coated every inch of metal. Is this the sort of thing you're good at? There may be a whole lot more train renovation needing to be done soon.....

The former Relay Room, now our Museum display area, is undergoing renovation too. Additional items are being added to the existing wide range already on display; storage cupboards and doors; better signage for the exhibits etc. We are even building a new signal frame which can be remotely operated by compressed air! Are you good at woodwork or metalwork and could you help?

Our visitor numbers continue to increase every year, encompassing local families all the way through to experienced train operators and signallers. We've also had visits from societies, London tourist groups and even TV's Michael Portillo and the former TfL Commissioner Andy Byford - all enjoying that 'something a bit different' experience.

We need volunteers who could become guides. Are you a 'people person' who would consider becoming a guide, or perhaps learning how the lever frame works and take on the role of a demonstrator signaller? You might get to meet some interesting people! If you have already worked on the Underground or main line railway, your knowledge and skills would be invaluable.

This page only gives a flavour of all the tasks the volunteers perform. Why not come to our 'Try Volunteering' day on 28th Feb, or send us a message to find out more?
