New Coach for the “Steam” set

EOR are delighted to announce the purchase of another coach as we further strengthenĀ and expand our rolling stock. The railway has secured a British Railways Mark 1 “CK” (composite corridor) number W 16237, purchased from the Bodmin & Wenford Railway.

This coach is vacuum fitted, and so will work with steam engines and most diesels, and further expands our “vac set”. The coach also is a corridor design / layout, with both first and second class compartments.

This layout of seating in compartmentsĀ both adds more variety for our visitors, reflects how many remember transport in the 1950-70′s era, is ideal for families and also offers film and TV companies a wider range of filming opportunities.
