Title

Prototype Carriage No. 116 delivery.

Prototype aluminium carriage No. 116 delivery in Minffordd Yard, July 1972. It had been built by Edmund Crow of Cleator Moor and was built one hundred years after the railway's first bogie carriages, hence the number. It was the first passenger vehicle to be fitted with inward opening doors which became standard issue. This photograph shows the gantry crane in position to lift the body off the stand ready for transport to the Works for completion.

Fuel Oil Tanker Waggon No. 61 is on the left. Initially delivered as a WD type D Bocoal from Smiths Potato Estates, Nocton, Lincolnshire, it had been rebuilt by the with a welded underframe from a road trailer and fitted with the 1,750 gallon riveted cylindrical oil tank seen here. It is coupled to what is probably No. 70 (another fuel tank waggon of different design converted from a type D).
