I now have one of these for no particular reason other than I always fancied having one! The idea is to enhance it with some interior work, underframe gubbins and possibly new bogies, then have it as a branch line off cast, probably with something in tow for additional goods delivery. It looks like someone has already had a go at repainting and tarting up this one but I think it will need a bit more work. The GWR often passed on it's old or inherited coaching stock for branch line use, so that makes sense, and it would fit onto a minimal space layout. The alternative would be some of the old ratio 4 wheelers, a B Set or an auto coach but these are so often seen on GWR branch line layouts that they are a little bit boring?
