Preservation Information The vehicle was not however initially fit for traffic, so a restoration programme was started in the mid 1990's. During the early 2000's the vehicle was painted into a non standard carmine & cream livery to suit its role as a hauled coach. Work was also progressing on the interior of the coach. By 2009, the overhaul was coming to a close. The vehicle had by now received a brake & bogie overhaul and the heaters had been replaced with a modern system. 59603 was also painted into maroon livery to match Class 116 TC 59444 which 59603 was paired with upon its return to traffic. Around 2017/2018 the vehicle was repainted again, retaining its maroon colour scheme. 59603 continues in passenger service being hauled by a variety of (normally industrial) vacuum braked steam and diesel locomotives. |
