Coach bodies this time, 4 of them in fact. I photographed these today whilst visiting the Wells & Walsingham Light Railway. I know little about the bodies, I believe that the one next to the platform has been refurbished inside and converted to a craft room. The staff were busy going about running a railway so I didn't want to ask inane questions about coach bodies. I did note that some had the remains of wallpaper inside (along with a lot of rot and big holes in the floor), and at least one had a kitchen area. So they could have been holiday chalets? Whatever they were, I'm sure that the railway will make good use of them.
Here's the first body, built in 1880 by the GER, located next to the platform;
This one sits close by, behind the signal box;
Two more sit on the other side of the car park. Here's the one on the left;
From the other side;
And the right hand body;
Kitchen end, there's still a cooker and sink inside;
Note the vent! Yes it is a Castrol GTX can!!
I make no apologies for the photo heavy post, just look at all of those textures.
Paul.
