WESSEX BELLE LIVERY
The Swanage Railway are painting the Wessex Belle set crimson and cream. This is the livery used by British Railways for its corridor passenger stock from 1950 to 1956. At the time there were only a handful of diesel engines, the locomotives had the cycling lion crest and some of the coaches had not been built. Should the railway paint rolling stock to represent different eras or should it continue to paint the stock to represent the period from 1956 to 1967?

Swanage Railway
Swanage Water Tower
The Swanage Railway is planning to replace the existing water tower with a London and South Western Railway water tower from Salisbury built in the 19th Century. It will have a Portland stone base and a gable roof like the original Swanage water tower. This will extract water by reverse osmosis rather than taking the supply from the mains. Dorset County Council will supply a grant provided that the work will be completed by mid 2012. Do you think the building will blend in well with the existing buildings in Swanage?
