Conversion of an old Mk1 coach

Into a Polar Express Green Room and Buffet seating area

An old Mk 1 coach BSK35193 (Brake Second Corridor) had been languishing in the sidings at Leeming Bar for many years, following an abortive attempt at restoration in 2014-2016 (photos included below). It was then recovered in September 2023 and converted into a 'Green Room' for the Polar Express actors for the 2023 (and future) seasons. In 2024 it is was then further modified for use as a seating area for the station buffet coach.
