I realise we are trying to keep this section for non-railway subjects, but a couple in Sutton Bridge, Lincolnshire and just 10 miles down the road from me, have just had installed a Garden Ornament with a difference. They have had delivered and placed on some old railway track, an Ex-Kent Coast First Class carriage.

Their house is built on the site of the original station that was once part of the M&GNJR and from what was said on the news today, the track where the coach stands, is as near as possible, on part of the original trackbed. Their grandchildren said that when they told schoolmates that is was going to be put there, they didn't believe them, but now it is a talking point.

Subject to when I next go that way, if I can get one, I will take a photograph of it and post it on here for you to see.

I passed through here last weekend, yet never saw it, so do apologise. I am however visiting the area again in the near future and so will do my best to find this item if it is still there.
