garden shed for sale in Dorset

We can't save everything I agree, but someone should be keeping a watchful eye on what happens to this body, if only to ensure that the gas light fttings are saved (speaking as someone who is in the process of recreating a coach worth of gas lights! - albeit rather more ornate than these).

 

Something to keep at least one eye on, I agree!

Hopefully, a restoration project...................for someone.

 

I think we can be grateful that it will not be broken up on site and disposed of....I hope!
again I will do my best to follow this vehicle.....aswell as several others....(DW150192,GWR 231, GWR 14984).

 

I bid on eBay (on behalf of Bluebell) for a carriage body some three years ago, after a frantic week of getting agreeent from three organisations within the Bluebell, and agreeing funding. It went for way more than we were prepared to bid, for "architectural salvage", but the guy selling it said that, had he realised we'd have been interested in having it to restore for railway use, he'd never have put it on eBay.

We had one guy who'd heard that each new door for a carriage cost us about £400 in timber, from which he worked out that his carriage was worth £20k. What he'd failed to realise was that the more it costs to restore, the less we can afford to pay! And less than zero probably won't help!
