"Knotty" railway carriage

[RichardWarren]

Hi, my name is Richard Warren & I am a trustee of a charity called "The North Staffordshire Railway Rolling Stock Restoration Trust" based in Stoke-on-Trent. We have restored one of the very few surviving passenger carriages of the old North Staffordshire Railway (NSR no 61) built c.1870 & are the process of restoring of restoring another (NSR no 127) of silimilar vintage.   Our aim is to run a "Knotty heritage train" (Knotty being the colloquial name for the North Staffordshire railway).   We have the steam loco & track it's just the original carriages we're short of!  We have traced one other Knotty coach (in Staffordshire) but I'm led to believe there may still be extant a fourth NSR coach which has somehow found it's way to Winchelsea beach.   This seems an extraordinarily long way from Staffordshire but - who knows?   Can anyone help with any information?   Many thanks in anticipation.   Richard Warren
