GWR Collett Third No.5863
Built at Swindon works in 1934 to diagram C67, Lot 1509 5863 was modified in 1962 to enable communication equipment to be fitted to form, along with other vehicles, a mobile telephone exchange under the control of the MOD for use in an emergency. It was stored at Craven Arms until 1980 when it was purchased along with three others, 5813, 5848 & 5929.
Under DFR Society ownership it was converted to provide a messing area and six, two-berth sleeping compartments for society members staying overnight. Replaced by a new coach in 2024 it was obtained by the DFLG in 2025 to be converted into a woodworking area and storage compartments.
