		The other AC car at the CVR is W 79976, but this is a the beginnining of its restoration, in a very much stripped down condition.

		Begun in 1973, building and land reclamation work is still continuing today, but the work already done (including demolishing and re-building a genuine CV and HR station building to its original spec.) is amazing.
