Four 7 1/4 inch gauge vacuum braked coaches - stock code 11627

A set of four vacuum-braked bogie coaches, originally supplied new to Dobwalls and latterly acquired by a gentleman with many and varied steam interests, including a full-size Foden steam wagon, a variety of smaller scale locomotives and a truly world class collection of both stationary engines and early railway signage (including original Corris Railway signs which we covet mightily).

Bought for an estate railway that never eventually materialised (although it didn't lack ambition, with exhibition standard locomotives commissioned to be built for the railway, including the fabulous Wainwright D we sold recently, and a GWR 47XX by the same builder currently in our workshop).

Dry-stored in a barn on his estate for many years, a good wash down revealed them to be in good condition.
