| 2005 | Rebuilt into a slightly differentformat. There are now two internal doors to one side of the carriage connecting the comparments. Toilet has now been fitted. This is a arrangement similar to some South Australian Railways narrow gauge passanger brakevans. This has been documented as having been done by the railways in the 30's (?) when it carried alot of passangers, but the doors were in the middle of the carriage, not to the side. There has also been a toilet installed.[rpf simont141] |
