create page for GWR 6045
GWR 6045 is a Corridor Composite (CK) carriage, having four first class compartments to seat 24 passengers and three third class compartments also to seat 24 passengers. It was built in 1928 to Diagram E132, an early Collett design having flush sides and bow ends. It also has toilets at each end and external doors to each compartment on the non-corridor side.
The carriage later saw Departmental use as No DW 150293. It arrived on the SVR in January 1973 from Bristol, having been bought by the [[Great Western (SVR) Assoc. | Great Western (SVR) Association]]. Since then it has been stored in various locations on the SVR, but moved to Bewdley in 2014 for restoration to begin. Progress on the restoration is shown on the Great Western (SVR) Association website.
