Coal Waggon No. 22 (1967 No. 165) was previously under restoration (floor and body) at Beamish (May 2017) and on loan there. It returned to the FR in 2019. In October 2023 the Wooden Waggon Federation began to overhaul the chassis. New wheelsets installed, corroded drawgear replaced and the body planks removed for chamfering. The waggon is actually No.22, not 26 as previously numbered. The old plates were an FR metal plate (no raised numbers) and a plastic copy on the other side with a raised 26. An original 22 plate from the heritage store was earmarked as a replacement. Photo credit: Colin Lea
