The two WHHR Ashbury corridor carriages are finished and ready for service, having been given a coat of varnish and reassembled.
What you see here is the rake used for Russell's historic trips to Beddgelert earlier this year, although ours seems to have ventured further north...
During the exhibition we'll also be using Gelert and the Baldwin on this set which will make a very colourful addition to the layout - especially the Rheidol brake van which we've depicted in the BR blue livery it carried for a short while.
The real one has since been repainted into a rather drab chocolate colour. (correction: maroon)
To which all I can say is: spoilsports!
