    A bit of a shameless plug, but I thought members of the forum with an interest in coaches would be interested to read that the North Norfolk Railway's lottery funded Suburban 4 set was successfully launched into service today following a six year restoration:

    After being absent from the "suburban club" since the early 2000's due to their declining condition, the NNR are pleased to rejoin the Worth Valley, Llangollen, Tyneside etc in having a presentable and operational Suburban set.

    They look very impressive. With the last coach in the vintage set well on the way to restoration, are thoughts turning yet to a funding and restoration strategy for the Gresley coaches?

    Excellent stuff. And nice to see a couple of the GCR's cast-offs finally get the restoration they deserve (46139 & 48001). Well done.

    Yes, fairly detailed planning is in place and it is anticipated that funding the first coach of the Gresley set will not be a problem. As far as I know the first coach for this set will enter the works when the last member of the Vintage Set (currently in progress) leaves it.
