Open-Topped Carriages (standard gauge) (RWS)

Open-topped carriages are passenger coaches with no roofs.

Biography
The National Railway Museum owns two replicas of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway open-topped carriages. Thomas used one of these when he was carrying out demonstrations during his time at the museum.

Basis
The open-topped carriages are based on the replicas of the third class four-wheeled carriages used by the Liverpool and Manchester Railway in the 1830s. Two of these replicas are owned by the National Railway Museum, both of which are used for demonstration runs with Stephenson's Rocket.

Livery
The National Railway Museum's coaches are painted cream with black wheels and door handles.
