Additional Notes Query date. Body (on its u/f) was grounded at Newport Maltings until P 1970 South Cambridgeshire Railway, Heydon. Some seating remains, also an original "3" on one door. Mess vehicle for "Newcastle" (MW 0-6-0ST), was also on site. By 01/13: moved to 'Rocks by Rail' (was Rutland Railway Museum) with intention to restore to running order. However, following that owner's untimely death, sold to a member of a railway group in East Suffolk for Leiston Works Railway, Leiston, Suffolk on 18/05/18. The body has been reasonably well preserved by the existence of a corrugated iron roof overlay dating back several years. Proposal is to refurbish the body and mount it onto BR brake van chassis B954171. Located at Leiston Works (along with a GER 6 compartment body - qv).
