Biography[]

The Railway Series[]

In 1962, Stepney came on loan to Sodor bringing his controller and a rake of coaches from the Bluebell Railway[1].

Technical Details[]

Basis[]

These coaches are the real Metropolitan Railway wooden bogie stock built by the Ashbury Railway Carriage & Iron Co. and Cravens in 1898, owned by the Bluebell Railway.

The Bluebell Railway has three 1898–1900 Ashbury carriages and one built by Cravens, and a fifth, built at Neasden, is at the London Transport Museum.[2]

Livery[]

These coaches are currently painted in the Metropolitan Railway teak livery, but were painted brown and cream from 1962-1967.
