A FUNDRAISER has been set up for a train called Peter.

The 101-year-old narrow-gauge steam engine has been pulling families and enthusiasts around Amberley Museum, near Arundel, for 27 years.

Peter has been a hugely popular attraction for young and old alike, pulling the Santa Express at Christmas and running on Mother’s and Father’s Days and many other major events.

But now he needs boiler repairs and a service, which is expected to cost £40,000.

Now a fundraiser has been set up for the restoration.

It has already raised more than £20,000 – money which is now funding Peter’s boiler repair.

In a boost to the fundraising effort, an anonymous Good Samaritan has offered to match pound for pound any money up to £5,000 raised between now until March 22.
