The Mid Hants Railway operates a wide variety of Rolling Stock, ranging from former boat train carriages to coal wagons.
The majority of our carriage stock consists of British Railways MK 1, but there are some interesting exceptions. Our service trains are usually five to six coaches long, with a maximum of six due to platform lengths. Much of our MK 1 stock has its origins in the southern, eastern and Scottish regions. Our carriage restoration department has refurbished these heritage coaches to a consistently high standard and continues to work on restoring non-operational stock.
With the exception of our luxury Pullman dining train stock and our Real Ale Bar, most of our carriages are painted in British Railways Southern Green, to match the operational period of our railway.
