    A few piccies of Cambrian coach 238 (taken between shunting moves today). Now in the workshop, pending move into the Museum itself, so a rare opportunity to view it out in the open. . .

    More recent stock moves to/from Oswestry.

    Pacer 143619 (consisting of 55660 + 55685) arrived from Tanat Valley.

    Although it's yet another Pacer :( This one is in better condition than our other Pacers and will therefore hopefully be much more reliable.

    Moving to Tanat Valley was Hibberd 3953 'Alpha'.

    Much as we (CHR) would like to take the credit, the external restoration was down to the town council (who still own the building). We are of course grateful for the use of the building (albeit just the ground floor. . . but that is still a lot of space :)).

    Kudos for redirecting the credit towards the proper quarter!
