LMS Carriage Association (LMSCA)

LMS Period 1 Vestibule Third, 7828

On loan from the National Railway Museum since 2003, this LMS carriage, 7828, has been restored by a dedicated group of LMSCA volunteers. The carriage was built in 1925 at Derby’s Carriage and Wagon Works on Litchurch Lane. With restoration completed in its 91st year the transformation has been remarkable. Check out our teaser trailer below for a sneaky peak at the restored carriage.
