Excellent thanks for posting that.
Loved the shots of the old ECJS clerestory carriage being lifted into position at Humshaugh to be used as a camping coach.
I am guessing that would have been late 1940s early 1950s? It was still there until about 1991 in a derelict state. Wonder what happened to it?

Ian Krauses' production was a gem! Not just railways, but dialect too! I transferred my VHS copy to DVD years ago and still watch it regularly.
