johnw1 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Formed into a cross country express and standing in platform 1 at Derby is unique Bar/Buffet E1883, 23rd August 1980. Vehicle History E1883 is a one off vehicle built at the Derby Carriage works in 1968 to lot 30784 and utilised the underframe of Kitchen Car 80021. Basically a Mark I vehicle it was built at a time when Mark II vehicle production was in full swing and has a strange appearance with its window style resembling more the Mark IId-e air conditioned vehicles introduced in 1971. E1883 is not actually air conditioned but is dual heat pressure ventilated. It had a short service life being withdrawn in 1981 however following withdrawal it was sold for preservation and has spent time on the Severn Valley Railway although currently it can be found on the Weardale Railway.

johnw1 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Stabled in the reception sidings of Derby Litchurch Lane Carriage works is London Midland and Scottish Railway bogie brake M31024, 25th June 1977. It was built at Wolverton to lot 1198 in 1939 and is a Period III standard 50ft full brake to diagram D2007. It was originally built with gangways but these have been removed. Whilst these vehicles were still fairly common in 1977 (there being three hundred and ninety one still in service at the end of 1977) it was unusual to see one in blue and grey livery.

BernardTPM Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Conversions from Period 1 coaches that had been requisitioned as Ambulance cars. Rebuilt as BGs 1946-9 to diagrams D2129 & D2130. A large number had originally been Third Opens, but quite a few had been Brake Thirds or Composites. Not surprisingly there were a lot of detail variations! All were scrapped by the end of 1967 (ref: LMS Coaches). 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnw1 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 The oldest vehicle in the 1977 Royal Train was London and North Western Railway Special Saloon 45000 and it is seen here at Derby on the 28th July 1977. This saloon was originally built in 1920 for use by the Chairman of the London and North Western Railway and subsequently passed into ownership of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, where it was used by the Chairman Josiah Stamp. During its service history it has been used regularly by members of the Royal family including King Edward VIII, HM Queen Elizabeth, HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and HRH The Prince of Wales. It has also been used by VIP’s such as Sir Winston Churchill, who used it during his election campaign of 1951. It was regularly used as part of the Royal Train fleet from around 1948 and as can be seen has been given modern running gear (Mark I underframe, B4 bogies, air brakes etc) for use in the 1977 Royal Train. It provided a lounge area, two bedrooms (for Royal Protection staff), dining and office facilities, kitchen, bathroom and an attendant’s compartment. It was withdrawn in 1990 and is currently (May 2011) preserved at the Midland Railway Centre. 45000 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/pics-by-john/5735449541/ 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
