Hi Mike Thanks for the info. I will have a look for H20 tonight when I get home. Do you know if it was a Kitchen / First or even the Kitchen / First / Brake I mentioned earlier? Re the Great Western Journal feature on the Torquay Pullman, I would be very grateful if you could tell me which issue that is. Also would love to see the photo of the Supers with the H39. Any chance you can link to it or tell us where to find it. Many thanks Noel

Hi Adrian Many thanks for the links. I thought only 3 of the 6 K38s had OM lettering but may well have mis-remembered from reading my Russel books. From all of the research I have done so far, the OMs were included when needed so it stands to logic (or at least my logic) that if a liner with 1st class passengers arrived to be whisked away in their Super Saloons, it is not inconceivable the fast-mail would have been attached too. I guess it is one of those things we will never actually know now. Re the Comet instructions, I believe they relate to post-1934 when 2 of the Supers were converted to have their own kitchens, Princess Royal and Princess Elizabeth if I remember correctly. I think H15 is a good bet although I do remember seeing a 1st/Kitchen/Brake which I believe was H11 (or was this actuall H15, my memory fails me). Thanks for the link Industrial... I lknew I had seen a list like that somwhere. Very useful!

Hi there I am building a couple of the Super Saloons at the moment and deciding on what other coaches I need to acquire in order to recreate a typical Ocean Liner special. I could do with your input on a couple of questions. 1stly I am mulling over adding a K38 Ocean Mails van along with a couple of extra normal K38s. would this be realistic? 2ndly I am modelling the 1929 to 1933 period so the Super Saloons at this time did not have kitchen cars. Does anybody know what kitchen they may have added? I am struggling to find any reasonable option that was built after 1908. Many thanks for any input. PS I am also building a Torquay (or should that be Torbay?) Pullman from 1929. I have the new Pullman books on order but would love to know if anybody knows what the names and/or numbers were of the 8 carrigaes the GWR owned.
