I saw the Cleminson coach in the new carriage shed at Douglas. Out of the period from the decision by the department to take it off display to...
Going on to the security issue over the Cleminson coach, the vehicle is in a secure builders yard which is locked at night, and there must be many...

The Cleminson coach has been installed in a scaffolding frame with a corrugated perspex type roof and weather resistant side sheeting, and unlike...
Our model six wheelers comprise six MNR coaches and there we use tension lock couplers and I extended the truck beams to carry the couplers, and...
