This coach was built in Wolverton in 1962 as a Braked Second Corridor coach, with four passenger compartments, a guard’s compartment and a large parcels cage. It was bought by the Scottish Railway Preservation Society in 1984, who refitted the passenger compartments with First Class seating. The coach has vacuum braking and steam heat. It was then used by the Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway on their branch line service until being purchased by the Derwent Valley Light Railway Society in April 2024.
