3755 was restored during the 1980s with the assistance of the Manpower Services Commission, to its as built condition and carrying the post-WW1 Crimson Lake livery.

GWR [Great Western Railway] - Cattle Waggon, No. 38089 built in Swindon to Lot No.914. Moved to Welshpool & Llanfair in 1937, to Festiniog in 1960, Returned to the Vale of Rheidol in 2014 and re-entered traffic in 2017. {I suspect that it may have been re-gauged}

Almost ready for departure, the carriages were lightly loaded. ps I really hate that air pump, I wish they would hide it inside a fake extension to the side tank or something.

"Join the train, please !"

Pair of long benches on the island platform at Bewdley. [Shirtbutton badges in the supports] Also, I just noticed that the cutting side has become an extensive garden ...

Steam loco footplate [out of focus] with tags labelling the some of the major items of interest. If I've read my notes properly, this is GWR no7819 "Hinton Manor"

Hiding behind an ex-GWR station bench ... Based on a mark2 quarryman's carriage, the Hearse Van was built by the Festiniog Railway in 1885/6. Seen here on display at Gelert's Farm. A number of Festiniog Railway personalities have taken a "last journey" in here. www.festipedia.org.uk/wiki/Hearse_van

GWR 1213 [aka No.9 "Prince of Wales"] built 1924. The loco that hauled our train on this trip in 2019.

aka No.9 "Prince of Wales" - on the layover at Devil's Bridge. last time I saw this it had an extremely striking livery ... not the sober GWR one carried at present.

Information panel for the GWR works fire engine, no doubt the routes needed to be kept clear.

Standard design for a combined hat, coat and umbrella stand. This is the Great Western Railway version of the design. mainly used in offices.

GWR liveried Scammell "Scarab" or "mechanical horse". These little three wheel vehicles were used for local deliveries, replacing the ton and quarter-toner horse-drawn parcel vans. These little units were capable of hauling three or six ton trailers, depending on the engine version. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scammell

The extensive GWR works in Swindon also had their own fire engine.

Headboard for "The Bristolian" on 6000, also known as "King George V" which was completed in June 1927. The bell is a memento of a trip to the USA during August to October 1927. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GWR_6000_Class_6000_King_George_V

As the visit was on a non-operating day, No93 was tucked away in her shed. . This vehicle was originally constructed as Steam Railmotor No. 93. Built 1908 to Diagram R Lot 1142. It was converted into an Auto Trailer (Diagram A.26, Lot No. 1542) in 1935. In 2011 a major Heritage Lottery funded project to return it to a working steam railmotor was completed when it ran successfully for the first time in 75 years.
