Matt has been flying solo again and spent the day Saturday putting the finishing touches to the signwriting on Tim’s trailer. After a considerable amount of research, attention to detail, and plenty of man-hours, the Scarab Mechanical Horse and three trailers have been transformed into British Railways crimson and cream livery to form part of the planned 1960s living/working museum at Overton; under the Overton Goods, Coal and Travelling Post Office Depot Project. Here is the recent work…

…and here is a showcase of all the vehicles following the transformation…

In other news, we plan to have a small-scale opening of Overton yard this coming Saturday only, so why not come and see us and take a look at progress so far on the project.

Tickets are still available for our next two events if you’d like an opportunity to drive with our wagons.
