ex-LSWR 6w coach enquiry

[Jack P]

Hi guys, 

 

Me again, Just wondering if anyone able to shed some light on what a particular coach actually is. In this case the information I have is pretty thin on the ground, and none of the books I have, have anything more to add:

 

Southern Numbered 81, Later Southern department stock number 949S, 6W LSWR (listed as a GV) built in 1895 and allocated to Guildford as part of the breakdown train stock. 

 

Apologies that information is bare, looking for any suggestions as to what diagram this could be, or any reference to books that might tell me.

 

Thanks in advance!

[Tony Cane]

This is LSWR diagram 688   SR diagram 853

Information is from LSWR Carriages Vol 1 by Gordon Weddell

There is a picture of this type of vehicle in service stock use on page 120 of the same book.

Number is 4 digits, so a later conversion.

Thanks Tony! I've been keeping an eye out for the volumes by Weddell, but they usually command some very high prices!
