GWR Sleeping Car no 9038 was removed from the Gauge Museum at Bishops Lydeard on 10 May 2017. No 9038 later travelled to Minehead, attached to a service train, to star at the forthcoming filming of the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow. Pictures below by Chris Austin.
The last picture shows a rather empty Gauge Museum at Bishops Lydeard following the removal of Sleeping Car no 9038.
