Evening all,
Well, while there's a pause in the planning of and laying of the BLR, I'm happy to say some further work is being done on the 009 side of things with another series of builds from the team at Boston Largs works allowing 2 sets of 5 Ffestiniog Railway coaches to be formed along with a WHR set including FR coaches. The coaches ordered are:-
Batch 4:- Due for delivery around April
1st class observation coach no. 100
Service coach no. 124
3rd class 'Carnforth' Coach no. 112
Batch 5:- Possibly due for delivery around July
Open 3rd class coach no.2020
Closed 3rd class coach no. 2042
Batch 6: TBC but expected to include-
3rd class 'Super Barn' no. 103
Brake composite no. 2090
Enviably, I've forgotten which car is which on batch 5 but depending on the final costs of batch 5 will be the final deciding factor about batch 6 if one will be ordered or not.
Until new time,
Jon
