D87 & D88 ambulance conversions details?


Recommended Posts

In looking for something a bit different to try my hand at making I have come across these two diagrams of brake third, D87 right handed, D88 left handed

 

As I understand it from looking at the pictures in Russell and the diagrams in the Longville book whilst of Collett era they are conversions of Toplight ambulance stock with steel sides but no toplights on a flat bar (a la Bars I/II) underframe, with original paneled ends visible. I'm assuming then that the whilst there are no toplights as on the original body framing (maybe repaired) the doors, windows openings are all as per normal toplight brakes. Looking at the photos is Russell it isn't clear, but looks to me like they didn't have any bollections, which would be nice as one less thing to paint.

 

Any support of my understanding would be welcomed rather than me invent a fictional coach or two...

 

Thanks

 

Jon
