Saloon Coaches

The Skarloey Railway saloon coaches are bogie coaches originally owned by the Mid Sodor Railway. As the Mid Sodor declined, they were sold off to numerous buyers for use as summer-houses, holiday chalets, henhouses, and garden sheds. Since 1959, when Mr. Peter Sam found one in a garden at Harwick, no less than eight have been rescued and restored at Crovan's Gate.
