Great Northern Railway - TPO 2178


Introduction

In this the 21st century, it is still amazing that "finds" such as a TPO carriage from the 19th century can still be made. In time this page will be developed to include the full restoration of this unique vehicle, but for now please enjoy the following pictures showing it being prepared for movement to Wansford.

An Appeal

We desperately need to locate drawings and pictures of GNR TPO 2178 (or 2179, 2180 & 2181). If anyone has anything that may be of use then please contact me Brian Hallett. You would be helping our project to move forward.
