A Personal View of the NVR: Hidden Gems

http://nene-valley.blogspot.com/2012/03/hidden-gems.html

Thursday, 8 March 2012. Due to a house move and work commitments, visiting NVR/wagon restoration has had to be put on the back burner for the last few weeks – hence the lack of updates recently. I hope to resume normal service as soon as possible! First up is P143288, a private-owner ironstone hopper. Its condition is not too bad, although the headstocks (bufferbeams) need dropping out and replacing, plus some other repairs. The livery is not thought to be original to this wagon. This is LMS CCT No.3...

A Personal View of the NVR: February 2012

http://nene-valley.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, 26 February 2012. SNCB 21033: Update 1. Here are a few photos from the Carriage Shed a couple of weeks ago, showing then-current progress on SNCB (Belgian) coach No.21033. The vast majority of the roof has now been sanded back. New metal has now been let into the end of the coach, formed into a compound curve to match the original shape of the roof. I would've liked to have been around when this happened, to see how it was done! Saturday, 18 February 2012. The cold also played havoc with train ru...

Wednesday, 28 March 2012. BR Mk1 TSO 4466. As promised in the previous posting, here is a selection of images I have been sent from other working members. First up, Allan Nunn has very kindly sent through the following images of his Mk1 coach No.4466 in the final stages of its complete overhaul:. The side away from the running line is now complete including the paint to the final door (nearest the camera), and lining out, all it requires is some touching up in places. Sunday, 25 March 2012. First up is P...

A Personal View of the NVR: All Change!

http://nene-valley.blogspot.com/2012/04/all-change.html

Tuesday, 24 April 2012. No railway-based blog would be complete without a railway-based pun - so the title of this post should fulfil the criteria! I am pleased to report that the collection box for the NVR Wagon Group is now up and running, located on the platform at Wansford. Your donation, large or small, would be much appreciated and help make a visible difference to the restoration of our historic wagon fleet. In the meantime, please follow the link to the latest wagon restoration news update:.
