Currently stored under cover. Only the sheet steel and windows have been removed so we can assess the damage done by water. When the carriage arrived the windows were nearly falling out because the sheet steel was so rusted. Internally this carriage is in excellent condition.

Shunting the carriages so they could all be inspected from below in a inspection pit.
Removing the rusted sheets from the sleeper Car 15th May 2002
We have removed all of the sheeting from all of the cars. We plan to assess what needs to be repaired. The sheeting has rusted badly in the weather but constant maintaince from the previous owner has prevented much of the water getting into the structure of the carriage. This picture shows John Lissette removing the panel steel from the Sleeper car.
