An undated view of a six wheeled compartment coach marked NCB - CRC denoting the Cannock & Rugeley Colliery. As ever on the web there's a mass of written and pictorial material about the line's topography, history and motive power but but virtually nothing about the supporting rolling stock. Tom burnham has been watching my back again: "Cannock & Rugeley Collieries are mentioned in R.W. Kidner's 'Carriage stock of minor standard gauge railways' - I guess this is ex-Great Eastern Railway full brake No 44 (built Stratford 1894), probably acquired by the colliery in the late 1920s. It's now preserved on the Chasewater Railway."

As ever on the web there's a mass of written and pictorial material about the line's topography, history and motive power. From Tom Burnham but still more specialised knowledge needed: "According to R.W.Kidner's "Carriage stock of minor standard gauge railways", the Cannock & Rugeley Collieries had two 6-wheeled 5-compartment thirds - one ex-Maryport & Carlisle Railway (built 1875 by Birmingham Rly Carriage & Wagon and now preserved on the Chasewater Railway) and one ex-Furness Railway (built 1891). An expert might be able to tell which this is..." Hugh Madgin has confirmed that this is, indeed, the Maryport and Carlisle Railway example and adds that it appeared at the Shildon expo in 1975.
