Waterman Railways

[Masbroughlad]

Has anyone anybody got photos of Waterman Railways locos or coaches please?

There is a few on flickr. Here is one of 47710 for example http://www.flickr.com/photos/63119375@N03/6904625233/

I've always wondered what the interior of the coaches looked like because the livery looked very good

Would be good if someone had pics of that too.

Think he had hundreds of coaches. Not sure what locks he had.

Real pity he packed in.

Did he actually refurb any of his coaches though, or maybe just run them with fresh paint but original interiors as often happens?

I know there are a few knocking around in preservation somewhere but can't remember where I've seen them.

One of the Mark 2s stored at Sinderby (near York) was in Waterman Railways colours, but the coach was cut up

IIRC the set that was painted plum/ivory was refurbished by him also. I think it is now the Royal Scot set.

There is a picture of the interior here..

It does look the similar to the Waterman Railways refurb but I am not 100% sure.

Ill have a trawl through my old magazines as there was a pic in one of them.

A couple of 47705. It may have been a Fragonset loco in the second photo but still carried Waterman livery and logo.

Issue 167 of Rail Express had a feature on Waterman Railways livery with plenty of pictures and a full list of locos which carried the colour scheme. I'm not sure if back issues are still available from Mortons Media or not.
