    A small selection of cars at East Tanfield on the Tanfield Railway at the "Legends of Indutsry" Gala on Saturday 17th June this year.

    Is 757 VY a rebodied MGB?

    I have an idea that "kit"was what my Heaton ( motor bike) son was suggesting for my wife's failed MGBGT to be transformed into.

    She bought an MX 5 instead for her commute - confident in the knowledge I could never fit :(

     

    Yes it is an MGB based kit. The tooling has passed through several owners. I went to see the factory when it was in Rotherham in about 1995 with a view to buying one.

  2. I've been looking through the Western Region WTT No. 13 for Sept 1949 to find some appropriate trains to reroute through Borsetshire. My eye caught the class F 2.50 am Oxley Sidings to Bristol (W.D.) on page 182. Does W.D. in this context mean War Department? If so, What sort of load would be carried? Tanks and armoured cars or just vans and opens? Would any special precautions be taken?
