Heritage Coaching stock
When the line reopened we had to work quickly to secure rolling stock. This set of 4 coaches, 2 closed and 2 open, were loaned from Hastings miniature railway then subsequently purchased. They have been the mainstay of the railway since reopening in 2025 and will be refurbished in the winter of 2026.
