Above and below:
Two interior views of open third 1464 (diag 2017) taken on the Bluebell Railway 26th October 2002. Built in 1950, 1464 was always a "loose" vehicle used to lengthen trains or form special trains. As such it remained in service until the end of steam-hauled stock in 1968 when it was bought by the Merchant Navy Preservation Society in 1969 or 70. Moved to the Bluebell on 12 May 1978, it received an overhaul before entering traffic there in May 1986. Note the net luggage hammocks.
