RVP member Phil Stanbridge works on the recreation of a Diesel Brake Tender outside the Carriage and Wagon Works at Rothley, GCR on 27th July 2013. Phil initially came up with the idea when some vehicles at the Great Central Railway were about to be scrapped after having been purchased for spare parts. One of the vehicles was set aside for the project, while a feasibility study and then design work was undertaken. The project became known as 'Project X' while this work was being undertaken, as the team wanted to keep it quiet until all hurdles had been overcome. The brake tender will be numbered B964122, the next number following on from the originals.
