THE livery ofVale of Rheidol Railway’s (VoR) 2-6-2T No. 7 has been altered by the deletion of the previous‘Great Western’ lettering from the tanks and replacement by the simple letters‘GWR’.The basic green lined with black colours remain, as previously. No. 7 is the only VoR loco to have appeared in this form during the line’s period of BR ownership.
During October, 2-6-2T No. 8 was in the works being repainted into BR black livery.
Redevelopment of the old standard gauge loco shed at Aberystwyth intoVoR’s display building was some 90% complete in early October. It is projected to be officially opened in spring 2024.
