I went over to the KWVR for the 1st day of the 3 day Vintage weekend.
The vintage train consisted of 1054 Webb Coal Tank built 1888,
L&YR no. 47 Blackpool Club Car was built in 1912, 279 4 compartment First Built probably in 1880, L&YR 1507 6 Wheel 5 Compartment Third built c1882, E46157 (added because of the non appearance of the L&YR brake coach) and finally LNER saloon 21661, more famously known as the Old Gentleman’s Saloon in the Railway Children film, is arguably the oldest operational standard gauge passenger coach in the world and seats just 14 people
