Vintage Coaches
The Gwili Railway has a fine collection of Vintage Coaches from various railway operators and historic companies.
- TVR No.145 - (built 1874) The oldest standard gauge coach surviving from a Welsh railway company. Recovered in late 2006 and returned to Wales. It is now in storage pending a decision on how best to proceed with its restoration. An initial examination suggests that the remaining ten doors, most of the floor, all the glazing and the external paneling on one side will need replacing.
- TVR No.220 - (Built 1891) Undergoing a repaint, expected to return to serive in 2014
- GWR No.216 - (Built 1888) Restoration ongoing, expected to be in service late 2014
- TVR No.153 - (Built 1874) In store pending restoration.
- GWR No.793 - (Built 1881) Offered to the group in 1991. No repair work can be done on this vehicle until coach No.216 is nearing completion.
