PinzaC55 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I was just wondering if anyone could identify this Inspection Saloon seen at North Grimston station (NER) in 1951 ? I presume it is NER and it looks like a 4 wheeler but it may be the angle of the shot ? http://www.yorkshirewoldsrailway.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2004 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 There are a few NER officers' saloons surviving: see here to search for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 Thanks for that , it appears there are only 2 NER saloons left and they are both clerestory so it isn't one of them. It may of course be another company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Are you sure? I found four or five in the list and some of them were under tarpaulins so it was impossible to tell whether they were the same one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinzaC55 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm not used to using that site so I typed in "built by NER" and "type INSP". That was all it gave me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I tried that and type 'SAL' and it only brought back two. So I just searched for NER and then read the brief descriptions. I did find one which looked similar but it was a 6 wheeler. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
