Wanlockhead

LMS era photograph of a Caley 0-4-4T with a mixed train at Wanlockhead. Of particular interest to the KERS is the veranda coach. This was one of four built by the Birmingham Carriage & Wagon Works for the 1908 line extension to Knott End. The distinctive brake van is also an ex-KER vehicle. See image 61713. Having taken over the railway in 1923 the LMS used a steam railmotor on most services and the distinctive coaches were transferred to Scotland to see out their days on the Wanlockhead branch.
