THE Statfold Barn Railway has purchased the three steel-bodied bogie carriages built at Alston for the South Tynedale Railway (STR) in the 1990s.
The trio have been superseded by the six ex-Baden Vienna tram cars which the STR purchased in 2014 and had converted (including regauging from Metre gauge) as part of a Heritage Lottery Fund package of developments at the STR.
