    The chassis has had various addition removed. The next step will be shot blasting the chassis , with care taken regards the axles/boxes.

    Great to see one of these under-represented vehicles being brought back to life. I presume that's the ex Embsay body with one of the ex Bowness chassis? Any news on the restoration of the GWR body?
    Cheers,
    Ray.
