Viewings by appointment only  

All vehicles are sold as seen with no warranties given. Prospective purchasers are advised to undertake inspections to their satisfaction at the time of viewing.  

All sales will be subject to the condition that the vehicle is removed from the company's premises, promptly, following the completion of the purchase (or at a later time as agreed due to shunting requirements). The vehicles will be moved to the rail/road loading area at Toddington as required to facilitate their departure. All sales will be subject to the addition of V.A.T. 

Sensible offers are invited for each of the vehicles. Undisclosed reserve prices will apply. Vehicles will be sold on a first come, first served basis. Some of the vehicles will be stripped and scrapped if they do not sell in a reasonable time.

5500 & 5539

5500 and 5539 are Great Western 'B' Coaches. 5500 was built in 1934 and is a Brake Third (BT). 5539 was built in 1928 and is a Collett Brake Third (BT). They are unique vehicles in that no others of their type have survived into preservation. Their current condition is very poor and they are structurally unsafe with the roofs and sides propped with timber to allow their movement without collapse. Many of the original fixtures and fittings survive and are in separate secure storage. These vehicles are currently stored on isolated tracks so their removal will need to be planned with good notice. These vehicles are privately owned. They are offered free to a good home where the future of both vehicles would be assured. The photographs show each side of each vehicle 14151617
