Carriage & Wagon Works News
British Railways Mk.I SO No.4824
- preparation for traffic
13 October 2007
The carriage arrived on the Bluebell in a condition where it could almost have gone straight into service. The interior in particular had been given a thorough overhaul, although the toilets were by no means finished.
However, before entering service a number of items have been attended to, particularly on the bodyside, with the windows being re-bedded, and the coach given a full re-paint. The interior varnish-work is also being brought up to a high standard of finish. Externally it is being finished in early BR style crimson lake and cream (sometimes known as carmine and cream).

Right: By the end of August, the sheeting had been stripped back to bare metal prior to the application of filler, and some of the side-lights overhauled and refitted (Dave Clarke)
Dave Clarke's fotopic site features more photographs of the overhaul of this vehicle.
