| We have acquired the number 2 end cab off 50037. It was previously
purchaced from MC Metals and taken to the SRPS at Boness. Its planned
restoration was never completed and hence it became available for
disposal. Main reason for purchase is to acquire its contents for
spares and re-use but it is destined for restoration and mobile display
in the future. |

a day apiece to ready them for display at the forthcoming Peak Rail
