This is the 'buffet' end and shows the saloon beyond.

Here we go through into the saloon. From these photographs it may be judged the size of this coach, which for an 18" gauge line was the largest on record. I can vouch for the fact that it ran very smoothly and hardly even seemed to roll despite the overhang each side

Following the closure of the LCLR at Humberston near Cleethorpes in 1985 the stock and trackwork of the railway was transported to a site at Burgh le Marsh near Skegness, whilst a suitable site could be found for relaying the railway.
The ex Sand Hutton Railway coach body is lifted from the railway site.

Preparations to reopen the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway on its new site in the Skegness Water Leisure Park were greatly helped by the success of the Railway’s first Open Weekend for 20 years (Saturday and Sunday 10 and 11 September, 2005).
