Accurascale is delighted to announce that they have reached their target donation for charity.

They have raised £10,000 for Samaritans UK, thanks to people’s generosity.

To help raise the money, at Pete Waterman’s 2023 Christmas exhibition, they announced a limited edition model of 66415 ‘You Are Never Alone’, which was named back in 2019.

The strong support for this charity project was highlighted when the stock of this model sold quickly.

In celebration, Accurascale visited the Freightliner Depot in Doncaster, who had brought out 66415 to mark the occasion.

Accurascale thanks everyone involved and especially to people’s generosity in raising this money.

They are now onto their next project, using model 66190 to raise £10,000 for Martin House Children Hospice. The loco was named back in 2023 to support the hospice.

We couldn’t do this without the support we’ve had from Accurascale, This has only been possible because of the partnership that’s been formed. Accurascale has produced these incredibly detailed models and sold hundreds and hundreds of them to raise £10,000 for Samaritans, which is wonderful! We couldn’t do this on our own, as always about the railway, it’s about partnership and collaboration.”
