This buffet carriage was used on the Southerner (Christchurch to Invercargill) and the Endevour (Wellington to Gisborne) trains.
Passengers were served in the carriage and ate at the bar. This carriage was stored in the Wairarapa with FM226 for many years and came to Feilding
for undercover storage.
It has now been railed to Dunedin for future use.
