The Royal Mews is adjacent to Buckingham Palace. The carriages and horses that the Queen, visiting Heads of State and other members of the British Royal family ride in on state and other occasions, like visits to Royal Ascot horse races, are kept and maintained in the Royal Mews.

Half a dozen photos from a trip to Bruges, which were used to make charity fund-raising greetings cards, hence the shaded borders.

It appears that these old railway carriages may have been part of a scheme to rehouse service personnel returning from World War 1. There is a group on Flickr with further examples of this type of development known as 'plotlands'

Antique railway carriages converted into holiday homes at Winchelsea Beach - photographed in June 1994. 14.5.2012 Judging by Google maps aerial photographs this edifice and the more modest, straight conversion of a railway carriage, to the left, both seem to have been around in the recent past. The Google copyright date is given as 2012, if I read it correctly.

A small group of four photos of three pre-grouping railway carriages, that used to be at Winchelsea Beach, in around 2005-6. I haven't been there recently, but the last time I was there, I seem to remember that the area had been smartened up. Whether any of these found their way back to a preservation group I don't know.

Antique railway carriages converted into holiday homes at Winchelsea Beach - photographed in June 1994 The panelling looks, to me, like that used on South Eastern Railway stock around 1900. Kichenside's 'Railway Carriage Album' has a suitable candidate on page 172. It's the deep panels around the windows, combined with smallish, round-ended panels under the droplights in the doors, that lead me to that conclusion.

This was my attempt at this carriage with the curious half compartment at the end. (Having typed in this note, I came across the explanation in Mitchell & Smith's Bath to Evercreech Junction. It started life as a luggage compartment.) I didn't put footboards on the bogie carriages as they seemed destined to catch on platforms etc. As usual the Triang GWR clerestory 'G' hand grabs have remained. I see that Roxey do a pack of etched LSWR reversed 'S' shaped ones. So if I ever get back to putting these models on a track, I could upgrade them, I suppose. I notice that I have missed off the crest. I could have digitally inserted one, but I prefer to show these old models how I had them running in the late 1960s. I think I can justifiably put the location as Highbridge, as both the prototype and model were built there and indeed the drawing was drawn there - albeit at slightly different map references!
