LEGACIES - Making a gift that lasts

32678 and vintage bw AC

A gift in your will to The Terrier Trust CIO is one of the most valuable and lasting ways you can support our purpose to advance the education of the public by the preservation, maintenance, public display and operation of the Terrier class of locomotives for future generations to enjoy.

Preserving Victorian steam locomotives is extremely costly and at the Terrier Trust CIO (a registered charity) we welcome all gifts in wills, however large or small, and we promise that your bequest will be used to make a difference. Our legacy policy is to use gifts to help fund significant projects and events, for instance the repair and overhaul of Terriers such as our own pair, No.3 ‘Bodiam’ and No. 2678, and major celebrations of the locomotive class.

Since needs change over the years, we encourage you to leave a gift in your will for the general use of the Trust in pursuing its charitable aims, rather than for a restricted purpose. We can discuss possible uses of your gift with your executors when the time comes, bearing in mind your known areas of interest and the Trust’s priorities at the time.

You can be confident that your gift will be used to make a real difference to the future preservation, maintenance and operation of these enchanting and historically important locomotives.

We can acknowledge gifts in whatever way the donor and/or their executors feel most appropriate. Equally, we can make sure that gifts remain anonymous if that’s what you prefer.

How to make a gift:

Every gift can make a difference

You can leave a share of your estate (known as a Residuary Bequest)

This is the gift of all or part of the value of your estate (after debts, other legacies and liabilities have been met). This has the advantage of automatically keeping up with inflation.

You can leave a fixed sum of money (known as a Pecuniary Bequest)

This is the gift of a specific sum of money.

Are there tax advantages?

All gifts to charities in wills are tax free. When Inheritance Tax on your estate is calculated, gifts to charity will first be deducted from the full value of the estate.

We advise you to seek professional legal advice regarding making or changing a will

How do I find a solicitor?

Visit the Law Society website at www.lawsociety.org.uk

I am happy with my will, but I would like to add a gift to The Terrier Trust CIO. What do I do?

Ask your legal advisor to draw up a codicil – this is a simple legal addition to your existing will.

A sample wording for a bequest is as follows:

“I give____% of my residuary estate OR I give the sum of £______pounds only free of all taxes to The Terrier Trust CIO of 5 Newing Green, Bromley, BR1 2TD (registered charity number 1165782) for its general purposes, and I declare that the receipt of an officer of The Terrier Trust CIO shall be a sufficient discharge to my executors and trustees.”

If you would like to talk to someone in confidence about the practicalities of leaving a legacy, the sorts of purposes your gift might fund, and how/if you would like your gift to be acknowledged, please contact our chairman Tom White at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Finally, a gift to The Terrier Trust CIO in memoriam can also be a wonderful and appropriate way to remember a loved one. If you would like to consider this, please do make contact to discuss this with us too.

If you wish, you could tell us why you have decided to remember The Terrier Trust in your Will or make a gift in memoriam. We would love to hear your story.

Thank you for your support and for your generosity.

About The Terrier Trust CIO

WP   7 6 15 John WaddingtonThe Terrier Trust CIO is a Registered Charity to advance the education of the public by the preservation, maintenance, public display and operation of "Terrier" Class steam locomotives. The Trust owns No. 3 "Bodiam" and No. 32678.

The inaugural meeting of The Terrier Trust was held on 16 September 1995 by a group of members of the Kent & East Sussex Railway (K&ESR) determined to ensure that Terrier operation would be resurrected on the line. In 2018 The Terrier Trust was converted to The Terrier Trust CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation).

What is a Terrier? It is the pet name ascribed to an original class of 50 small 0-6-0 tank locomotives built by the London Brighton & South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) between 1872 and 1880.

Also known in their earlier days as Rooters, these small, hard-working little machines acquired their popular nickname due to nippy performance as much as their distinctive chimney exhaust, or bark, exacerbated by their Westinghouse air brake pump.

By a combination of multi-tasking throughout their careers, modifications, alterations, rebuilds and sheer luck, no fewer than 10, or 20%, have survived into preservation in one shape or form. This is unprecedented for a relatively mass-produced Victorian design. It is true that higher proportions of the Southern Railway's (SR) Bulleid Pacifics, for example, remain extant - and yes, like the Terriers, in various guises. For many classes of engines, however, that do survive, only have one representative; the most obvious example being the world-famous A3 Pacific 4472 Flying Scotsman.

Possibly, there are parallels in aviation circles with the Supermarine Spitfire. They were right machine in the right place at the right time. It is a truism that if something is well designed, looks good, and perhaps sounds good, then generally speaking, it will perform well. Create a product that is capable of improvement, can be rebuilt, do more than just the job for which it was originally intended and, most importantly, capturing the imagination of the public, then fame and affection can be guaranteed for posterity.

This website will be updated regularly and contributions are welcome. As an educational charity we wish to promote the importance of these engines to a wider audience and in time establish a library of information and photographs from inception to the present day.
