This came to us from the previous owner as "Lord Penrhyn's Saloon coach", although I suspect his Lordship wouldn't have been seen dead travelling in a half-glazed vehicle on slatted seats. Delusions of grandeur exist even in small items of rolling stock...

That said, it's a nicely made 5 inch narrow gauge van running on sealed roller bearings, with certainly more than a nod to the Penrhyn quarries about it (although one suspect the seats saw more workmen than lords...)
