The Foxdale Coach is unique and sees use at peak times and on Ultimate Driver Experiences duties as seen here; it was restored to its original appearance in 2013 for a photographic event.
The last carriage delivered to the railway and dating from 1926, F.49 is the sole remaining luggage van in traffic and is in daily use; it was extensively overhauled in 2019 and wears the post-war livery.
Outshopped in its original purple lake and off-white livery for the 2022 season, saloon F.31 dates from 1905 and is an integral part of the popular dining train; all saloons will ultimately appear in this scheme.

One of two similar carriages, the other being F.11, both have been restored in recent times, and here we see F.10 taking shape in the workshops of outside contractors in the spring of 2024.
The interior of the Royal Saloon F.36 stripped out while undergoing restoration work; this carriage is usually displayed in the railway museum but has been undergoing attention since 2023.
