DugaldDalgetty Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Has anyone got any records please of Gresley (both mainline and suburban) in the Sc series, and Mk1 coach numbers that ran on the Waverley Route in the 1950's? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCT Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Has anyone got any records please of Gresley (both mainline and suburban) in the Sc series, and Mk1 coach numbers that ran on the Waverley Route in the 1950's? This sort of info is of interest to me too, although the period I’m modelling may be a little later than yours – late 1950s to early/mid 1960s. The original Sc allocation of BR Mk.1 stock is listed in the Keith Parkin HMRS/Pendragon book and its supplement, and there’s some Sc allocation info for Gresley stock in Michael Harris’ “LNER Standard Gresley Carriages” (Mallard Books 1998). As for Waverley-Route-specific numbers… most of what I’ve found has been gleaned from the edges of pics published on RailScot and elsewhere, eg - https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/31/637/ https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/35/872/ https://www.railscot.co.uk/img/55/994/ Hope this gives you one or two pointers.

'CHARD Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Love that - 'the edges of pics.' That is so meaningful to a good many of us doing research, I bet!!! The Parkin is what I base my initial assumptions on. Problem is that Midland region MkI stock is crucial to the St Pancras sets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
37175 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 The last vehicle in the consist of the final night's 1M82 (and therefore the final vehicle to traverse the route on a passenger train) was BG E80834, if that's any help. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DugaldDalgetty Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Many thanks for replies so far - coach number recording seems to have been virtually non-existent in those days - think I'll have to look out for the Harris book just to get the basic Sc info whether they worked the Waverley Route or not.

We've discussed this subject before - several years ago, I reckon. I wish I could remember where - there's a good chance the number ranges were shared too.

There's a snippet of info at http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/topic/35647-waverley-passenger-train-formations-and-diagrams/page-2, post #46.

DugaldDalgetty Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) Thanks Alasdair - "better late than never" springs to mind with 1964! At least there's something to go on, thanks. Your referred to thread has prompted me to add a reference to the 1945 position. Edited October 27, 2017 by DugaldDalgetty 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
