RN 216 – Brakevan ready for use
|
The South African Brake van has permission for use on the WHR main line once it has had an examination by FR. The HMRI had no objection to it. Marcus Ingram is appealing for some one to upholster one seat cushion for the Brake van. If any one out there can help could they contact him directly on marcus.ingram@ntlworld.com. The Brake van is then ready for the construction teams working on Phase 4. After a shunt of wagons, two of the three remaining DZs will be overhauled at Dinas in the coming months to enlarge the WHR’s freight train for special events.
