| Additional Notes |
Believed 6 wheel, possibly from articulated set of ca. 1885. To Balby, Doncaster, 1927. Used as shop/meeting room for Allotment Society. '2178' found under paint layers. No original equipment, roof lights, ventilators. To NVR 08/05. By 10/11 tarpaulined, on a wagon, and under cover. By 07/23: now located at Overton station - no longer on a wagon but still sheeted (see additional photos below): plan is to build a shed over the top of where it now sits to allow restoration to begin. 10/23 and 09/24: confirmed still in situ and still sheeted. |
