This 2 foot narrow gauge Parlour Car, was built in the style of the Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad, Parlour Car Rangley. The original Rangeley was built also as a 2 foot narrow gauge car in 1901 by the Jackson and Sharp Car Company. Sandy River and Rangeley Lakes Railroad was a narrow gauge common carrier railroad that operated approximately 112 miles (180 km) of track in Franklin County, Maine, from 1908-35. The former equipment from the SR&RL continues to operate in the present day on a revived, short segment of the railway in Phillips, Maine. Rangeley took it name from the final town and station on one of the arms of the original SR&RL route
Carrabasset was built in 2004 by the Ffestiniog Railway for a private railway in Oxfordshire. It was acquired by the Statfold Narrow Gauge Trust in May 2019. Carrabasment derives its apparently odd sounding name from the Carrabasset River which flows alongside the upper reaches of the SR&RL
