Historical information

22 NBHC - Passenger Carriage - Excursion Car - specially modified for Wheelchair access allowing it to carry for wheelchairs and Guard's Van

Puffing Billy Service History or Notes
Between 1979 and 1988 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.

22NBH entered traffic in 1998.

Currently these six steel framed NBHs (numbers 18-23) are being modified to provide double doors and space for wheel chairs at one end. The photo on the right shows the exterior of one such NBH. These have a seating capacity of 24 passengers.

Oct 2009 - Rebuild continues.

Aug 2016 - 22NBC Wheel flats removed
Sept 2016 - 22NBC Wheel flats removed
