Old Railway Quarter redevelopment, Swindon
One of the original buildings from the Great Western Railway's massive locomotive works. This is being converted to apartments but does include a Listed chain test house that is to be preserved. This includes a hydraulic chain tester with a 130 ton pull and I look forward to seeing this one day.
