Perseverence Kit. LMS Push-Pull Coach

Looks good, was the prototype photo taken during a shunting move or is the brake van attached in operation?

Thanks Corbs

 

I don't know exactly but I've seen many a photo of push- pull locos sandwiched between the coach and a short pickup goods train, so this pic may be showing the return trip of just the brakevan.

Ah that makes sense. I wonder if the coach was left attached when shunting the pick up goods?

Again I have read (somewhere) probably in my other GWR passion that shunting was done with at least single push pull coaches still attached.  I`m sure it would be too much hastle and time consuming to keep disconnecting three hoses and a coupling at every shunting turn, particularly if it was just a couple of wagons.
