HAA 354456
Built at Shildon Wagon Works in 1968, it spent its working life in the Scottish coal fields until it ran in to trouble at Dalmellington in 1988 was badly derailed.
For 354456 at least, a twist of fate saw the wagons dealt with in 2004 and 354456 was donated to the Doon Valley Railway, the other five victims sadly disposed of.
The NWPG acquired the wagon from the Doon Valley Railway in March 2020 and our aim is to restore the wagon, with extensive work required, to its former glory.
