Shocvan

18th March 2009 to 1st June 2008

My father and I purchased a Shocvan on the Pontypool & Blaenavon Railway. Formerly numbered 80892 at the Royal Ordanace Factory, Glascoed, the BR number of this wagon remains unknown. Regardless, it will be restored! This collection aims to chart the progress of the restoration...
