jimwal Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Looking for photos or sources to the above. I have all the usual LMS carriage books by Jenkinson and Essery. The images in these are nearly all official 'as built' type shots with very few in the BR period. I have done some searching of the photographic collections like 'Rail Online' and others. Inevitably many of these are 'loco centric' meaning relatively few rolling stock views. I have a few pics of 'period 1 & 2' vehicles but virtually nothing of 'Period 3' Stanier coaches.

watfordtmc Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 J, I’ve had a look in the Historical Model Railway Society’s (HMRS) on-line photo archive (Ref 1); they have 17 images covering 14 different catering vehicles (albeit two are ex LNER now allocated to LMR), but only three images have been digitised. These cover D1912 Kitchen Car 30087, and D1938 Restaurant Kitchen 245 (2 images). To save you the tedium of the HMRS search tool this link: https://hmrs.org.uk/photographs.html?railway_company=521&subgroup=202&subject=6033 should take you directly to the list of ex-LMS catering vehicle images. I’ve also looked at the RCTS website (Ref 2) as I understood that the RCTS were the custodians of John Cull’s photographs, but the only LMS catering vehicle listed is in preservation. But it may be in both cases that I’ve missed vital search term or another of course – and I’m assuming that you haven’t already visited these sites!. Not much as you say.

jimwal Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 Many thanks TMc. I have already placed an order with HMRS for those. I will look at the RCTS archive. Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Alder Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Ernies Archives will be worth a trawl through, a plethora of very useful images. There is a cracking shot of an LMS restaurant car at The Mound in his Far North Line album. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickham Green too Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 On 17/04/2022 at 23:48, Ben Alder said: Ernies Archives will be worth a trawl through, a plethora of very useful images. There is a cracking shot of an LMS restaurant car at The Mound in his Far North Line album. I was thinking of suggesting The Mound as Restaurant Cars seem to have been removed from northbound workings there and reattached to southbound ...... mind you, the ones I recall seeing photos of are the ex Pullman Cars rather than LMS-built stock.

Ben Alder Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Link to Ernies album - last image on page three. There were several different cars used post war - the Pullmans, a MR clerestory diner and an ex GE, IIR, one as well. There was an article in Backtrack detailing the workings and cars based at Inverness for the lines but its buried away somewhere. Colour rail has/had a lovely colour image of a six wheel LMS car being shunted in crimson and cream by the lined out black tank. Might be worth checking their site. https://www.flickr.com/photos/irishswissernie/albums/72157691625089715/page3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
