Third class saloon. Withdrawn 7/39, later at RAF Blackwall; centre wheels removed (gradients, curves). Preserved 1967 by Saffron Walden MRC: at Audley End untill 1981.  Now again a 6 wheeler. Evidence found during restoration backs rumour that it was converted for use of Princess Alice. (Silver Leaf and Gold Gilding was found, not something you would normally find in a third class coach!).
