Mcbwnegs1600 GER Coach number 8
No date or location came with this image of GER No8. We think this was a Wisbech and Upwell Bogie Tramcar and we think this may be Stratford in c1956.
The coach was new in 1884 to the GER and worked on the Wisbech and Upwell Tramway until 1951. It appeared in the film the Titfield Thunderbolt but was scrapped due to a misunderstanding on March 9th 1957. A similar car, No 7, survives on the North Norfolk Railway but that was a rebuilt underframe as the Body only was used as an Onion store for some time.
