Camping Coaches

Camping coaches were first introduced in July 1933, when there was a great deal of popular enthusiasm for hiking and camping as holiday activities. The coaches were old passenger vehicles no longer suitable for use in trains, that had been converted to provide basic sleeping and living space at static locations, off the main line.

Update 2014

I wanted to add a camping coach to my layout but realised that I didn't have a suitable place and that I would have to make a slight alteration to the layout, so, off we go again.
