1111	1997	Bloomfield Steel Construction Co, Tipton and FR Boston Lodge Works	Saloon/kitchen/lavatory	-	Body shell fitted out at Boston Lodge as a service and mess car for the Permanent Way department staff and volunteers. The vehicle is 40 ft (12 m). long and the FR's longest, but quite narrow to enable staff to walk alongside on embankments and elsewhere within the confines of the FR’s very limited clearances. Not fitted with Norwegian "Chopper" couplings. Although it is fitted with vacuum brakes, they are not used as FR works trains do not use continuous brakes and 1111 often functions as a brake van.
