The compartments were bedrooms and the space was a huge living room. You can still see lots in Shoreham Beach and Selsey.Chris Partridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883064324795042491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-29308091895351276392009-02-02T23:17:00.000+00:002009-02-02T23:17:00.000+00:00on the way back from work this evening i stop with...on the way back from work this evening i stop with a co worker in the snow blizzard to have a look at an old Railway Carrage of sorts. Yellow in colour the roof had been replaced but the wood still remained with a fully intact frame. My coworker has been on the lookout for one. Any ideas where you would aquire such a beautiful thing?monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16644778661884002884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-21358777422447492642009-01-29T09:46:00.000+00:002009-01-29T09:46:00.000+00:00Excellent stuff.

I don't remember seeing this one on my trip down there last summer, but I could easily have missed it amongst all the sheds, huts, carriages, and so on and on. There is something oddly moving about this one, impotent indeed with neither livery nor wheels.Philip Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893714514416441572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-33075841496538671632009-01-28T17:31:00.000+00:002009-01-28T17:31:00.000+00:00This is the stuff!

Railway carriages are wonderful aren't they? sadly I can't help on the local knowledge but this has prompted me to journey East and view that remarkable landscape once more. Right here in New Anzac, a chum has an Edwardian carriage in his back garden wherein we sit on a summers evening gazing upon an uninterrupted view of the Channel whilst chasing the pints down. Everything is still there in this carriage, from the ventilators to the leather window straps to the etched glass 'No Smoking' windows. A division which creates a small bedroom utilises a London Transport Trolleybus window in its construction - perfection! Naturally, it is tarred jet black outside.Jon Dudleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09717891707293701969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7611055706073214403.post-77673630346357512962009-01-28T12:54:00.000+00:002009-01-28T12:54:00.000+00:00Re: shingle ballast.

It's unlikely to have spread to other parts of the Southern; I'm not sure how much it would have been used on the lines of the London, Chatham and Dover after that railway and the SER were put under joint management in 1900. The Southern stopped using it pretty much as soon as it was formed; particularly as it was one of the major causes of the 1927 Sevenoaks crash. Probably the major cause, although that wasn't recognised at the time.Forest Pineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14039467421106380057noreply@blogger.com
