| With the plan to expand the Cambrian Railways Trust in the near future, more carriages will be needed by the railway for the increased length of line and passenger loadings. Here we take a look at the restoration work done to Mk 1 Coach E4965 built in Wolverton in 1961 and arrived at the Cambrian Railways Trust site at Llynclys in 2005. This work is being led by Tony Warren (Head of Carriage & Wagon) and a band of helpers. To date a lot of repainting has been done and the metal work on the end of coach replaced on both sides. If anyone fancies helping out Tony Warren with restoring the Carriages or the Wagons then please contact him via Brian Rowe on 01691 670916. He's very friendly and welcoming. |

New windows have been added to the toilet end of the coach. Here we see a view of Tony Warren painting above the window. He's doing a superb job. Well done Tony. 2592x1944 |

A view from the A483 road side of the coach. Here Tony Warren can be seen peeling of the masking tape which he applied earlier in the day so that he could paint below the windows without getting paint on the glass. 1944x2592 |
