Sorry that’s a scanning error. Most of the Jack Slinn drawings had to be scanned in 2 or 3 sections and then stitched together. If you look at the compartment widths you’ll see it’s the same as the adjacent compartments. Most Dean era coaches had the same width windows regardless of compartment width or class. The exceptions are some Metro coaches, saloons and some corridor coaches.
Since you're all talking about the van at the backI'll chip in with my tuppence. It has flat sides with no tumblehome and is possibly taller than the E40s in front of it. So I'd say it wasn't built by the GWR. It could be something they bought before 1870 or absorbed.
Why is the train there? Did Helston have a second platform at some time?
What interests me is whatever is hiding behind the loco's chimney. It that an eliptical roof?
E19 and E40 look about Wright. You’ll be very lucky to find any coach workings that early for Helston. You might consider a four coach set such as T36 S9 U4 T47 or T49
Is the price £7.99 per bogie or per pair? I think it’s the former but I want to check before ordering as I don’t want to purchase twice as many as I need.!
Over the past week or so it has become almost impossible to view RMweb on my old iPad. The hamburger menu no longer works at all. And photos aren’t being displayed. What is the minimum iOS required to view RMWeb?
Alternately you could keep the power unit bogie and put the rest on eBay. I’m sure somebody would like to buy the body and convert it into an auto coach.
Didn’t they have the buffers packed out a couple of inches because the screw couplings are longer? Other wagons that were fitted with screw couplings during the first world war for working in France definitely did.
