Puffing Billy Railway
11 NBHC - Passenger Carriage - Excursion Car and Guard's Van, 8/12/1919
11NBHC Passenger Carriage - Excursion Car and Guard's Van
Excursion Car 11 NBH which has been converted by the addition of a Guard's Van compartment by Puffing Billy Railway and re classed & numbered 11 NBHC
The NBHC is a conversion from the standard NBH. This was a temporary, but long term, conversion to overcome lack of suitable guard's vans on the Puffing Billy railway. One end of a standard NBH had windows and a hand brake fitted. A padded seat replaced the standard back to back seating, and a partition separated the guard from the passenger compartment.
