Residential railway carriage - Aug 2016

Banging set there. Still came out well with the bright sunshine. Well done, love the last one especially.

Yeah...lovely little bijou explore. Great pix.

Mate, that's a wonderful set of pics !! Never knock the blue sky !!

Nicely done. I do like it when someone resurrects a used railway carriage and makes a home or a camping coach out of it, but what was the company that owned it? It looks like GNSR. Just like this one preserved in Cromdale.

All I can say is - Never go out exploring whilst under the influence of whatever was in your system when you first viewed image 6. Alternatively let me have some of the same!!

At the time this coach was probably originally sold off as surplus; a would be purchaser contacted the rail company local to their intended site and if a purchase was made, the carriage was delivered to the loading/unloading siding of the nearest station to the purchaser's land. Carriage was then placed on a couple of twin axle road trailers for removal by steam, ic or horse power, note wheel sets or bogies were not included in the purchase and remained the property of the rail company. The coach in question is a five compartment Clerestory roofed wooden passenger carriage, which from Judderman's kind information on its location and using the above disposal of surplus procedure, is most probably of GNR or LMR (or one of their early subsidiary companies) origins.

There was a mass exodus from short wheelbase two or three axle wooden passenger stock, sometimes with wooden chassis/underframes, when the larger bogie mounted stock appeared. There was certainly a greater fire risk from the early acetylene lighting fitted in the early stock.

Nice find.

Belting find,and great photos.
