    I have put together two albums taken over the past ten years of pre-nationalisation coaches at Carnforth, plus a couple of cranes and wagons.

    One album has 26 photos of the Queen of Scots vintage train taken 2008 - 2013. (I have not seen it since):

    The other album has 25 photos mainly of coaches. Some are still at Carnforth but some have moved.

    It may not be widely known that there has been a lot of building at Steamtown. So far as I know all the coaches in these two albums are now under cover. (I have not been inside Steamtown since the 2008 open days.)

    No I do not currently volunteer
    They look no worse than a number of other preserved railways I can think of. If they are now all under cover, then they are actually in a *better* situation than many other railways.
