Replica Royal Carriage Sr1

Queen Mother Anna Paulowna's salon carriage. Anna Paulowna was Queen of the Netherlands from 1840 to 1849. In 1864, the Dutch Iron Railway Company (HSM) built a salon carriage for Anna Paulowna to travel between Soestdijk and The Hague. A replica was built especially for the Royal Class exhibition with the support of the BankGiro Lottery.

Only the toilet and sink of the original carriage remained. Using surviving parts of the original construction drawings, we were able to create a historically accurate replica.
