Jim Martin Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Does anyone know the location of any Great Central or LNER (GC section) Carriage Working Notices, ideally from the 1920s? I've looked in the National Archive, GCRS archive and NRM archive catalogues and I can't see anything there. Thanks Jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanchester Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 For the benefit of the uninitiated, what is a 'corridor locker compo'? (I get corridor and composite, but 'locker'? I assume it ain't some early incarnation of Amazon! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I get corridor and composite, but 'locker'? I assume it ain't some early incarnation of Amazon! In Midland Railway carriage marshalling documents, it denotes a luggage compartment. For long-distance trains, the lockers and vans are each assigned for luggage to a particular destination or group of destinations. Is that the case with these GC Section notices?

richard i Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Lockers are a small luggage compartment which would normally also have a guards compartment. In the cases of a locker that guard compartment is not there. richard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwealleans Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 (edited) What he said. They're quite distinctive when you know how to look for them - a pair of double doors in what ought to be the corridor side of a Gresley carriage is a dead giveaway. This is one I built for Grantham. Edit - Just seen a good example on Steve Banks' website here. Train headed by K3 121. Look at the close up and the carriage behind the 45' BG, you can see the picture window then the double doors next to it. On either side of the carriage (I think this is the corridor side) there would only be a single door for passenger use, so this has to be a locker vehicle.
