33-ft long 6-compartment third built in November 1887. Donated to Bluebell and moved there 20/12/2017 along with SER 4-compartment brake third (qv). Both were previously part of a bungalow (now demolished) at Pagham for at least 80 years. Teak structures of both considered to be eminently restorable. Initial plans are to conserve the bodies for restoration at a future date. Long term plan is to to run a Victorian SECR 4/6-wheeler train formed of three SER carriages plus the three LCDR carriages which have already been restored to service at the Bluebell Railway. 11/25: covered at Horsted Keynes station. |
