The Rolling stock of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway was one of the most distinctive aspects of the narrow gauge line. All of the original stock - sixteen passenger coaches and eighteen goods vehicles - were built to very high standards and supplied by the Bristol Wagon & Carriage Works in 1897. The bogie coaching stock consisted over several types including Third Class, Brake Third, Composite and Observation cars. |
