| This article is about the narrow gauge carriages. You may be looking for the standard gauge carriages. |
The Open-Topped Carriages are passenger coaches with no roofs.
Biography[]
At least three open-topped narrow gauge carriages are owned by the Estate Railway. They are used primarily by Millie, to take visitors around the castle grounds.
Luke once pulled one of these coaches when he and Millie swapped jobs for the day.[1] During Christmas, Sir Topham Hatt rode in one of these carriages dressed as Father Christmas.[2]
Technical Details[]
Basis[]
The open-topped carriages are based on the third-class four-wheeled carriages used by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in the 1830s, albeit scaled down to narrow gauge.
Livery[]
The open-topped carriages are most commonly seen painted red with black lining and gold door handles. They also have the Ulfstead Castle crest on both sides.
Throughout King of the Railway and the seventeenth series, a turquoise variant is seen wearing the same livery as the standard gauge open-topped carriages.

Trivia[]
- Throughout King of the Railway and the seventeenth series, the open-topped carriages inconsistently change in height. This is because a blue narrow gauge carriage was mistakenly used instead of the standard gauge variant.
