Additional Notes One of two PMVY vehicles now at the above location. They are believed to be 1851 and 2188 (qv) - which is which (and therefore which of the additional photos on the two records is correct) has not yet been established. The identities are further confused by the fact that one of the pair carries the number 2196 (see photo below) but 2196 is believed to be the PMVY at Folkestone Harbour station (qv). P 1976 at Mid Hants Railway and used as a store at Medstead & Four Marks station. 05/18: moved from Mid Hants Railway - either to Sandhurst, Kent where adapted for use as holiday accommodation or directly to Railway Retreats accommodation site adjacent to the Kent & East Sussex Railway station at Northiam (but not connected with that Railway).
