Make sure you keep an eye out for anybody walking around with a tin of white paint and talks about "coal trains" :evil:

Evening all, I donÆt know if there are any Avon Valley people here that could help, a few months ago I seen a open wagon being rebuilt on a short bit of track near the mk3 sleeper coach, when I was shown round a few weeks ago I noticed it was gone, does anyone know whatÆs happened to it, or has it left the site.

It's been moved into the goods shed for the final stages of restoration. When I last saw it a couple of weeks ago all the woodwork had been fitted and the wagon was getting pretty close to completion.

Sounds good then, do you know which livery its going in, when itÆs going to be in traffic and whatÆs happening after this one completed wagon wise. I must say over the last few years the AVR have been getting a nice freight set up together.
