 15th October 2011 | Brake Van LaunchIt is with great pleasure that the Nene Valley Railway would like to announce the launch into traffic of Brake Van B953944 at Wansford Station on Saturday 15th October 2011 at 1pm. The Brake Van has been transformed from a no-hope chassis to a fully operational vehicle during a four year restoration which included fabrication of a brand new body and many other parts. The event will feature the formal launch, the Brake Van in operation between Wansford and Yarwell, an exhibition of the restoration story and a taste of what's next in the pipeline. It is believed that a restoration of this extent has never been undertaken before in preservation and the result is a vehicle completed to an extremely high standard which will serve the railway for many years to come.
