Withdrawn in the 1930s the Milnes built car had been in use as a bowling green shelter in Cuddington until 1977.

An assortment of vital components have been obtained for Warrington No. 28 including, Controllers, Air Tanks, Sand Hoppers, etc., not to mention a truck (an ex Brussels longwheelbase Brill 79E).
