We have been incredibly busy here since April, but to simplify things I’ve been updating all the work on Facebook, where a detailed diary is being kept. To subscribe please visit www.facebook.com/Railholiday and add us to your likes. The page can also be viewed without a Facebook account.
In summary, the GWR dining coach is now in position, after six weeks of shifting sideways a few feet a day, and then a very complicated process of lowering it onto the new track. A pit has been dug for the next two carriages, to make access easier for the disabled coach, and the view better from the other coaches. A chassis has been constructed for our Taff Valley Railway coach, which will be delivered early next week, and the landscaping is taking shape very satisfactorily.
