Over the weekend Matt was flying solo to press on with the repaint of the road vehicles into British Railways livery.

Saturday saw new canvas in the correct colour added to Tim’s trailer, then a bit of painting to the areas where the poster boards sit, and a start on the crimson.

Matt was then back on Sunday to finish off the crimson. This will allow the lettering to be started this weekend.

These repaints are all part of the Overton Goods, Coal, and Travelling Post Office Depot Project…which will see the entire site transformed into a British Railways Eastern Region country station and goods yard set in the early 1960s. All those involved in the station are now beginning to embrace this concept, with all future work on the site moving towards the final goal. Look out for further exciting news on the project coming soon.

In other news, places are still available in the morning session of our next driving course, so if you fancy driving the Peak (No 45041 ‘Royal Tank Regiment’), then book now!
