The passenger cars are stacked by winching them on top of each other for ease and space saving. There is actually 4 cars in this stack but a better picture is needed to show you. |
They all bare the names of females from one family. A mother and her daughters |
|
Each passenger coach holds a maximum of 2 adults or 1 adult & 2 children or 3/4 children. |

|
and here are the ladies all out having a brake and bearing check |
|
Here the boys are washing the underside of Victoria after giving the braking system a check over after a squeak developed. |

Low level Non passenger cars
|
|
The low level truck for the low level. For taking human powered wheeled vehicles or boxes of stuff around our railway. |
Seen here with its loading ramps down, it is wide enough to put a complete set of points on without twisting the them. |
|
|
The end on view. It also is fitted with a hand brake under the furthest seat if you are brave enough to ride on it. |
Here it is many years ago dressed as a passenger coach. I am assured that it was quite comfortable. |

|
Lower level 5 inch driving car |
Lower level 5 inch driving car. This mean it generally goes ONLY on the low level and around the outer track ONLY |
| |
|
|
| |
It could go on the raised track but your feet / legs would be very high up and if you suffer from vertigo its a long way up ! |
|
Rejuvenation of the low level ride-on Trucks & passenger coaches
|
 |
|
The foot boards cleaned off before painting with primer, undercoat and a top coat of anti-slip paint.
|
Drivers ride on being prepared for a top coat of gloss black paint.
|
|
|
That's the top coat done. Left the running boards so that a top coat of anti slip paint can be applied. |
Just a moody shot of the passenger ride on cars after car No2 had it paint revamp. |
|
|
|
All that's left to be done are passenger cars No1, No3 & No4.
Passenger car No5 does not need painting as it does not come out to play very often.
