The Fifty Fund remained in existence as a public 'front end' of the organisation, dedicated to fundraising, promotion of the class, and selling shares in the Alliance.<ref>[http://www.fiftyfund.org.uk/index.php/about-us/origins-of-the-fund Fifty Fund 'Origins of the Fund']</ref>
In 2016 the Alliance completed the acquisition of locomotive [[BR Class 50 50007| Hercules 50007 Hercules]] from Neil Boden, for mainline contract work. A small number of existing shareholders provided the finance necessary, with the Alliance due to repay this loan over the following two years. The Fund therefore launched a major fundraising campaign to encourage existing and new shareholders to buy shares.<ref>[http://www.fiftyfund.org.uk/ The Fifty Fund] (Retrieved 10 February 2017)</ref>
