    According to the Vintage Carriage Database, there are a couple of LSWR carriages (959 and Invalid Saloon No.11) based on the Kent & East Sussex Railway. The last information I could find out about these was that they were sheeted over awaiting restoration; is this still the case?

    Thanks in advance.

    That's still correct, Nick. They are both in store awaiting restoration. The restoration of no.11 was started some years ago, but it was found to need more work than originally thought, and both the Maunsells and the Birdcage overtook it in the schedule.

    Thanks Jon, much appreciated. At least they are sheeted over to keep out the worst of the weather.
