Armoured Wagon Project

The RH&DRSA are pleased to announce that we will be funding/project managing the restoration of the armoured wagon. A history of the Armoured Wagon can be found here – Armoured Train. The project wouldn’t be possible without the successful monetary grant from The Heritage Fund.

The National Lottery Heritage Fund is the largest funder for the UK’s heritage. Using money raised by National Lottery players we support projects that connect people and communities to heritage. Our vision is for heritage to be valued, cared for and sustained for everyone, now and in the future. From historic buildings, our industrial legacy and the natural environment, to collections, traditions, stories and more. Heritage can be anything from the past that people value and want to pass on to future generations. We believe in the power of heritage to ignite the imagination, offer joy and inspiration, and to build pride in place and connection to the past.

Using money raised by National Lottery players, The National Lottery Heritage Fund supports projects that connect people and communities with the UK’s heritage. The Armoured Wagon Project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we have been able to fund the restoration of the armoured wagon to preserve, protect and promote this historically significant piece of rolling stock.
