The place it was built still stands too and has a blue plaque to mark it. It’s on Main Street, Milngavie a.k.a Mullguy 🙂

Thanks Newforest,
No mention of the Bennie at all unless I missed it. Would make a great subject for a scale model. They have a large number of excellent, highly-detailed model ships on display so obviously have the right connections should they ever decide to do that. There are quite a few Youtube videos available showing the railplane. There’s a short one here –

If you think it’s slow, you’ve never been on an Edinburgh tram lol 🙂

Is there any connection to this article – http://www.canveyisland.org/page_id__1585.aspx
The date as given in the comment at the bottom of the page seems to tie in exactly. I’ve tried a bit of photoshopping to enhance the image and it appears a possibility for the serial (definitely a PH at least).
Thanks for the replies – yes, it certainly is an interesting collection well worth a visit and the dedication of the team who look after the vehicles is quite obvious. While the location is a little out of the way the site itself is fantastic – loads of space; large sheds; a really extensive site which I’m sure they make the most of on special event days (of which there are quite a few throughout the summer). It was also nice to hear that they seem to have a good relationship with Stagecoach boss Brian Soutar.
