Shop role for CCT

THE Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust at Midsomer Norton is making excellent progress with the restoration of CCT (Covered Carriage Truck) No. M94438, which moved to the line from the Avon Valley Railway on May 14.

Ceiling panels that were in poor condition have been removed, while one set of end doors with the panelling in very poor condition have been removed for refurbishment.

New external metal sheeting has been fitted as required. The whole of one side has received a first coat of BR maroon paint. It is intended to use the fourwheeler as a second-hand book shop.
