RMweb Gold Bucoops Posted August 8, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 8, 2023 I am so pleased one of the observation cars has been backdated to its original look - the BR rebuild didn't do any favours in the looks department in my opinion. However, I'm glad they were rebuilt instead of scrapped. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect someone nabbed the Gresley bogies for preservation and that they are still around somewhere whilst March simply shoved whatever was lying around underneath it to keep it in a rolable state.

Yes, I thought that my photo was of one not repainted by BR, but the Crewcastrian photo is far too neat. I've only just realised I also recorded it at Norwich https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/lnerdepartmentalcoach/e498e9a4 https://PaulBartlett.zenfolio.com/lnerdepartmentalcoach/e1585d1aa Unfortunately all 4 photos are of the same side.
