RMweb Gold 96701 Posted March 23, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 23, 2014 Here's a snap from yesterday. Class 150 at Parkend. Excellent day out, a good excuse for sitting around on trains and to be reminded of just how soft the seats are on heritage dmus! I hope it was successful for the railway, the 150 was full from Gloucester to Parkend, so if they got their pricing right.......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm updating the GWR Preserved wagons stock lists for the GWR E-List website. A list of types and running numbers would be a great start. According to the Vintage Carriage Trust / Wagons there is a Mink G on the railway, if there is a photo of it would be very useful as I shall be scratch building one of these in G1 in the near future. Rather than listing a reply in this post you could PM me. Best Regards Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
