Puffing Billy Service History or Notes
Between 1997 and 1998 the Puffing Billy railway built six more NBHs, numbered 18-23. These had steel frames, padded seats, and a wide "window sill". At first glance they look the same as the previous NBHs. There are other minor construction differences due to the use of steel framing.
21NBH entered traffic in 1998.
The photo on the right shows the exterior of one such NBH. These have a seating capacity of 24 passengers.
