The volunteer team at the Apedale Valley Light Railway have been very impressed by the ex-Ffestiniog coach no.117; we now recognise that large, high-capacity coaches are they way of the future.
It is hoped that we will augment No.117 with a second ex-FR coach in due course, but that has led to a debate about what to do in the interim.
We have therefore procured a more basic coach body for the next one; it needs some work doing on it – like cutting side windows, fitting seats and the like.
