Volunteers at the Midland Railway at Butterley, Derbyshire, have completed the restoration of a Midland Railway 7-Plank Wagon No. 93631.

Built in 1916 at Derby, two years after 7F No. 53809, which is due to return to Derbyshire later this year, wagon No. 93631 started its life working on the Midland Railway. Now 110 years old, the wagon has been fully restored from a careworn condition.

The wagon restored by the Railways Heritage Carriage & Wagon group will be available for public viewing in the museum, which is due to reopen later in the year.

With this wagon now restored, the restoration team will turn their attention to another project. The team is always on the lookout for new volunteers to restore railway vehicles and pass on the skills to a new generation of active enthusiasts. Anyone wishing to get involved in a future project should contact Midland Railway-Butterley HC&W.
