It was an easy job to turn them into "ordinary" FO stock. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/55591376626903286/ The First Class Pullman cars were 1+1 seating layout, with loose armchair seats. Around 1967, the First Class Pullman cars were rebuilt and upseated featuring new seats bolted to the floor, and these seats were subsequently used in Mark 2c and 2d FO stock. Not only did they recline, but they had a degree of fore and aft adjustment as well. My last job involved looking after some Met Camm Pullmans. Two retained the 1967 fixed seats, but the third was returned to traffic with the loose armchair seating as originally built. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very short time scale here, the Train Reporting numbers are three didgets, these were replaced by the present four character headcodes c1961. The engines have Overhead Electric Flashes, I think these came in in 1960.

Indeed, it was the bridge works which saw the end of platforms 1, 2 and 3. A class 31 can be seen on what looks like a Mess Van.

RMweb Gold Market65 Posted December 2, 2021 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted December 2, 2021 Good evening, everyone. Thank you, russ p, and Rob. I had a feeling the 37’s indentities would be revealed before very long. But I didn’t know about the history of 37332, the leading engine. It would make a great model, and hopefully it might get modelled by Accurscale before too long. Well, this evening, we go back to Hull, and on a train to London King’s Cross, thanks to a photo’ by Syd Young on Flickr.
