Carriage repairs in the Carriage storage shed
During 2017-18, Road 1 was used to house the [[Northern Belle]] rolling stock. Located outside on Road 6 is the railway's carriage washer, which is used to keep the stock in a clean external condition. The facility has proved priceless in maintaining the rolling stock in the high quality condition in which our visitors find it, and to which the railway's volunteers restore these historic artifacts.
