GWR Toplight Full Third 2426

GWR Toplight Full Third 2426 was designed by G.J. Churchward and built in 1910 at Swindon. Originally the coach would have seated 64 passengers. It was converted to a camping coach in 1957, and renumbered W9918W.

2426 was purchased by SVR(H) in 1972 for volunteer dormitory accommodation, and is used for that purpose at Hampton Loade. It is the oldest bogie coach on the SVR.
