The low level passenger coaches & trucks.

Low level Non passenger cars The low level truck for the low level. For taking human powered wheeled vehicles or boxes of stuff around our railway. Seen here with its loading ramps down, it is wide enough to put a complete set of points on without twisting the them. The end on view. It also is fitted with a hand brake under the furthest seat if you are brave enough to ride on it. Here it is many years ago dressed as a passenger coach. I am assured that it was quite comfortable. Lower level 5 inch driving car Lower level 5 inch driving car. This mean it generally goes ONLY on the low level and around the outer track ONLY       It could go on the raised track but your feet / legs would be very high up and if you suffer from vertigo its a long way up !     Rejuvenation of the low level ride-on Trucks & passenger coaches

The foot boards cleaned off before painting with primer, undercoat and a top coat of anti-slip paint.   Drivers ride on being prepared for a top coat of gloss black paint.   That's the top coat done. Left the running boards so that a top coat of anti slip paint can be applied. Just a moody shot of the passenger ride on cars after cars No4 & 5 had a paint revamp.

Cars No 4 & No 5 have been revamped in the 2023 off season Currently Number 2 is in the workshop so No1 and No3 are left to be revamped.
