| At Marley Hill in the early 1990s, work started to refurbish the body of ex-Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire No.888, a 4-compartment brake built in 1885 at Gorton carriage works |
 |
| Working on doors alongside Wellington in MH engine shed - the only covered accommodation we had at the time |
 |
| The brake end required a fair amount of work |
 |
| Night shift ..... |
 |
| ..... on panelling |
 |
| Glazing & painting well advanced |
 |
| The finished carriage, ready for use |
 |
| No.8 in 2014 - on the Vintage Carriages Trust Register |

An important piece of pre-grouping railway history. Nothing much from the M.S.& L.Ry. (forerunner of the Great Central Ry.) exists.
There's the MS&L brake composite at Chasewater - see VCT register at http://www.cs.rhrp.org.uk/se/CarriageInfo.asp?Ref=880
