The wagon is nearing completion. The
wagon has been returned to Holt and re-wheeled, Only the
roof canvas remains to be applied following a very extensive
restoration. Unfortunately the fragile split spoke wheels,
and the chassis where some parts diverge from the original
specification with steel flitch plates, means that the wagon is
considered inappropriate for usage in demonstration freight
trains by the Carriage and Wagon Department.. |
