The Plym Valley Railway has completed the external cosmetic overhaul of Class 142 No. 142023 into its original BR Chocolate and Cream livery. The work has been completed by a small team of volunteers and has included repairs to the roof, window panels as well as some work to the fibreglass. There are still a few small jobs to complete but overall we love it! We can't wait to launch the 'Skipper' back into service on Sunday 11th of May and to celebrate this, we will have a more intense service and some Driver Tasters as well as our popular Driver & Guard Experiences which can now be booked here: https://plymrail.digitickets.co.uk/category/13852
We think the 'Skipper' is looking superb and looks back home as if it was the 1980s on a Devon branch line.
