We present below an illustrated list of essentially all our wagons – currently 37. We have excluded Permanent Way trolleys and the two van bodies used to provide accommodation on our platforms, as well as PMVs, CCTs etc. which appear in the carriage list. This list is in essentially the same form as the Vintages Carriages Register, which is administered from Ingrow on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, and which serves as the national register for wagons on heritage railways.

BECAUSE THERE ARE OVER 35 IMAGES ON THIS SINGLE PAGE, IT MAY TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD - PLEASE BE PATIENT
