    The Spurn Head Railway was a bit diffrent. In the booklet about it there are drawings of the final railcar the WD used. As with many of the drawings I come across, I found that some details do not match up with photos. Not sure why, but it is possible there were modifications to the design at some point. In any case I have combined the drawing and the photos to create what I think looks right.

    I actually live in the Spurn Railway carriage which once belonged to the military and pulled by he Kenyon. Nothing has changed on the carriage since it was placed for a home in 1936. The carriage has only been covered in new wood so not to change the original. I had Windows made to fit inside the original windows. When I stripped the inside back to the original I found doors had been boarded up on one side and one door area had been changed into a coal fire. I would love to see a picture of your scale model. Sad that one day in the very near future someone will purchace this train carriage plus the army officers mess from Spurn also a bungalow next to mine and pull them all down, all that history lost.
