Welcome to the Siân Project Group web site.

We are a sub-group of the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society, formed to purchase the 15" gauge locomotive "Siân" and restore her to her original condition.

The Siân Project Group was formed in 1994 to purchase the locomotive Siân. Originally 18 members bought 35 shares between them, and contribute a small monthly maintenance fee for Siân's upkeep. There are now 22 members, many of whom get involved with the work, whether it be skilled engineering, painting, or just lending a hand. Members also get the opportunity to help run the loco at the railways it visits. The more proficient have "passed out" as drivers on the some of these railways. There is currently a share available if you would like to join us. In the first instance, contact Owen Ryder at:- owen.ryder@tinyworld.co.uk
