The 1884 coach was one of only 10 built at the time and has been out of service since the 1930s.
By Chris Steers & Tom SylvesterA carriage once one of the most prestigious coaches on Britain's railways has been brought back to life.
The coach, one of only 10 built at the time, has been out of service since the 1930s and at one stage became a home.Only two of the Derby-built coaches had remained intact until the restoration of this one in Staffordshire. "This represents something many people over a couple of generations of volunteers here have wanted to see restored."Mr Smith added it became "somebody's home and they built a fireplace in it and lived in it for over 40 years" before the carriage came to the heritage railway in 1976.
