    Looks interesting. Is this a new build wagon, or a repair?
    Do you have a photo of how it will look when finished?

    Kudos to the GWS for expending funds and effort into preserving all their collection of GWR rolling stock.

    The new frames have been delivered to The West Yard Milton for transfer to Didcot Railway Centre.
    Thanks to Steelway and their staff and GWS Didcot and their staff.
