MarkC Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I would be very grateful for any information regarding coaching stock formations used on the Scarborough and Whitby Railway during its life 1885 - 1965. Specific vehicle numbers not critical, but would be nice. Thanks in advance Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 From the summer 1954 Carriage Working Book, the basic sets were BT-CL-BT or BT-CL-T-BT with a further T as a timetabled strengthener during July, August and early September. DMUs from 1958? I think I have a 1930's carriage working book somewhere, I'll have a look for it but I doubt they'll be much different. Both books are from NERA http://www.ner.org.uk/assets/NERA Book & Publications - Combined List 22nd March 2019.pdf 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks, Stuart. Much appreciated. Presumably Gresley stock and then some Thompsons in later years? Trying to identify coaching stock from most photos of workings that I have seen isn't usually easy... Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
