	Metropolitan Railway 6 wheel saloon coach Two of these 6 wheel saloon coaches built in 1895 specifically for use of Alfred Rothschild to travel to and from London from Wendover. They ran as a pair and were also available for other groups on special occasions. After 10 years of heavy work they showed their age and were combined into one coach on a new underframe. Requires finishing off, wheels etc
	Metropolitan Railway rebuilt saloon coach Rebuilt from combined 6 wheel saloons coaches. The rebuilt saloon was also used to replace one of the pullman cars when out of service. After 10 years of heavy work they showed their age and were combined into one coach on a new underframe. Also used for special occasions and final use was on final inspection if the Brill branch before closure in 1935. It was scrapped not long after. Requires finishing off, wheels etc
