Captain Sir Tom still raising money for charity
The ‘Pride of Britain’ train pack produced for charity by Bachmann, inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore’s fundraising achievement in 2020, has been a huge success. Officials from Bachmann Europe visited the GB Railfreight/EMD Roberts Road Rail Maintenance Depot in Doncaster where Class 66 No. 66731 Capt. Tom Moore was in residence, and presented a cheque for £60,000 which will be donated to NHS Charities Together. A limited number of each pack – containing a model of No. 66731 and two aircraft, Hurricane LF363 and Spitfire MK356, which performed a flypast on Captain Tom’s 100th birthday – are available in N and OO gauge. The OO has an optional sound fitting. They are available direct from Bachmann Collectors club www.bachmanncollectorsclub.co.uk or by calling 01455 245565.
