  I am the current owner of ADS70133,we are undertaking the restoration of ADS70133 at the pontypool and blaenavon railway where she resides, work has already started on descaling and painting of the chassis ,we have made some repairs to aid keeping ADS70133 water tight and secure.some work has been carried out on the doors ,including the sliding parcel doors which were sticking in the guide rails.

  As work progresses i will keep you informed of ADS70133s progress. Any help with information ,photographs ,drawings or plans possibly of what ADS70133'S interior or exterior was like would be appreciated.

  Having been in touch with the GVR, they tell me that they are not currently publicly accessible, so should be listed as Private, and (of course) in Wales.

  Yes good point - not sure why this location was still classified as England! Now corrected...

  So is this (and others?) at a private site rather than at GVR?

• 9 October 2025 - Russell Withington

  No - it’s just that the GVR in general is not open to the public as yet.

  Thanks for the correction, and to Russell for flagging it up also!

  We are not yet operational, and hence none of our land is open to the public other than PROW footpaths. RB3 and our other rolling stock can be viewed by arrangement depending on our availability to host the visit.
