Additional Notes | P 1967 Worth Valley Railway. One of four survivors of five built. OOU and sheeted at Haworth since 1994 or so. Additional photo (below) is 20 years later - 06/14: asbestos removed prior to ownership passing to Vintage Carriages Trust (09/14). Most interior trim and seating removed for the purpose. Has much deteriorated in this time: work to be done includes pipework, electrics and interior trim. Appearance has now been greatly improved by a quick external repaint (late 2014). 01/22: current proposal is to restore this vehicle to static condition. |
