    Two GWR sleepers are on the SVR, 9084 and 9085. One has been restored by Ramparts and currently resides at Kidderminster, although the plan originally was for it to go to Hampton Loade. Whether this is still on the cards I don't know. The other has been restored by a very few dedicated volunteers at Arley over the years, and was last year repainted by Bewdley or Kidder C&W, I forget which.

    Both run, but are all set up for static power, lighting, heating, etc. Braking is I believe non-operational. The interiors are 'so-so' - the Ramparts one is probably the more original of the two interior wise. They are both used for staff use - unfortunately, obviously, intensive staff use naturally coincides with Autumn Gala!
