Simultaneously? ;D ;D Do you think the seat would be any saleable state if broadgage and I had? ;D I wonder if the reclining mechanism is in working order. Towards the end there were a fair few where just as you went to take a sip of your drink the seat shot backwards!

They must be from Mk3 coaching stock currently being broken up at various sites. Adds new meaning to the phrase taking your work home with you. Yes and then straight onto eBay! Funny how the asking price is what you pay for a full first class peak fare from a number of places to London except you don’t get to take the seat away with you. I wouldn’t say no to one, but I’m not sure the wife would approve if one was to turn up. Title: Re: The ultimate for a fan of GWR HSTs Post by: eightonedee on September 05, 2020, 14:10:59 ()
