Wagons

No Carriage and Wagon site would be complete without a section on wagons, so this site is not going to be an exception to that rule.

The SRPS has quite a large wagon collection including some very old and frail examples such as the tar wagon in the Museum building.

Ian Boettcher and his S.A.D. lads did a grand job of renovating some of our wagon stock in the Goods Shed. During the period of the S.A.D. project (started in early 2002) a 12T PAL van was restored, an ex NB 10T box van, a 12T ventilated van and an LMS 20-ton brake van.

John Forrest continues to care for many of our freight vehicles (as in "What colour of black paint are you going to use today John?").
