ECJS 236 First Class Clerestory NER/ECJS Sleeper built 1896

Post by Wavey »

This carriage is listed on the VCT website and is currently under restoration at Newton-on-Ouse (previously located at Elvington and Kanpton near Malton). I wondered if anyone had information on progress or photographs. I don't know whom owns it and the work being done does not seem to be publicised anywhere. I believe it has been put on a GE underframe that came from the Great Yorkshire RPS at Starbeck.
As a boy I remember seeing this clerestory body in a caravan park between Scaborough and Filey. It was visible from the road from the top deck of the bus and I think it was painted in chocolate and cream.
