Work Starts on Gresley BTO 43556 E16631E

The Gresley BTO 43556 E16631E has finally arrived at Ecclebourne and is at present being stripped out, with a lot of the woodworm and rotten ridden walls being removed. Ready for a full assessment of what needs doing to restore the coach. Overall a bit worse than first thought but due to it being left unattended for several years not bad for its age.
