It did, and the condensation from it was one of the reasons for it's early withdrawal. It got mouldy in there very quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where any run with normal brake vans? I think that the dynamometer car is being used as such in the photo!

All are hauled by GSYP Cl.47s, through Cardiff General, predominantly on 3F14, bound for Swansea (Danygraig). . The coaches are in BR maroon livery, and in all photos are coupled next to the loco. The coaches converted for freighter use were; 41 MK1 57' BS 2 MK1 64' BS 9 LMS 50' BG (5 D1715, 1 D1778, 2 D1854, 1 D2007) 6 LMS 57' BSK (1 D1905, 4 D1968, 1 D2123) 1 LMS 57' BS. (D1964A) 1 SR BSK. (S4251S) There are photos showing them on the rear of trains as well as the front, I think they were coupled to one end of the flats and not swapped round at the terminals. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there is a list of numbers somewhere, maybe on here but if not iv seen them in a book. Possibly the life and times of freightliner? Funnily enough, I was just thinking this evening I have a suburban brake somewhere to be painted grey to go with my flats, think it's time to dig it out and let my guard ride in that rather than the caboose.
