The Tanfield Railway |
| No 3 & 4 were built post-war by R & Y Pickering of Wishaw as staff vehicles and are of a style supplied earlier to the North Eastern Railway. Tanfield purchased them to provide conventional brake carriages for their railway and fitted extra windows for passengers and replaced modern steel side duckets with earlier style timber versions. |

| No. 9 was built by the North Eastern Railway in the late 1870s as a five compartment third class carriage. In the 1920s it and a similar carriage were used to form a bungalow at Acaster near York. It was rescued in 1990 and after rebuilding and putting on a modern chassis entered passenger service in 1993. It has been used in a number of period films. Recent restoration has revealed the original wood grained simulated oak livery on one end that predates the plum livery for Third Class carriages and the number 256. The NER's 256 was a four wheeled carriage latterly designated Diagram R. 316 of these Third Class carriages were built between 1872 to 1881, and because of the simulated oak it is suspected this carriage was built closer to 1872 than 1881. The carriage has been repainted in NER plum to match the other stock, although it has now been renumbered to 256 |
