www.cs.vintagecarriagestrust.org/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=221
Gloucester District Engineer's Saloon built using u/f ex Manchester & Milford Railway Composite No. 14
In the shed for some much needed TLC.Both inside and outside are 'weary' requiring a great deal of renovation. This should have two saloons and a guards section in the middle.The Guard's section is missing a door and two walls!In the saloon furthest from the camera the walls were covered in some sort of plywood, rather than the scrumbled T&G.The corridor connection was added by the South Devon Railway.It lacks springs etc so hangs rather low on the end.
One problem I noticed was the frame in each corner was badly corroded.You can just make out the gap caused by the steel rusting.
As usual it requires a great deal of cash.
