Inspection Saloon no. DB999502 was built by BR at Wolverton in1959, to LMS designs. It is from Diagram number 2046, and Lot number 3093. Preserved by the Brechin Railway Preservation Society in 1982, it was the main passenger coach for many years,
as until our Light Railway Order was obtained the only services that could be run were half-mile shuttles, using the saloon. On the opening of the branch fully in 1992 it was used in the train set until relegated to 'spare coach'. While a superb vehicle, the extremes of Scottish weather and lack of undercover facilities mean the railway feels it could be better looked after elsewhere.

The photograph above with the 'Austerity' shows 999502 in 1995, and since then the side shown has received a protective coat of unlined maroon. The other photo (see previous screen) shows the saloon in BR blue and grey prior to restoration in the early '80s. Prospective purchasers would be welcome to keep the vehicle on the railway provided they maintained it!
