Wickham Green too Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Hmmm ........ "Buffets proved popular with passengers and have come to dominate catering on today’s railway." - I think railway catering today is dominated by 'bring your own or go hungry' !

Not that I'm the greatest rail traveller nowadays, but all the on train catering I have come across are trolley dollies of various persuasions, does this count as buffet? Mike.

Wickham Green too Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 ... but it's unknown whether - as has been suggested - the degree of curl really was increased on conversion ................. research is still ongoing but someone seems to have eaten the evidence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessy1692 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 (edited) I have seen a pic somewhere of a 1950s rebuilt bar area when I did my conversion from a Kirk Kit, I'll try find it and share here, BR made it more like a kiosk. Edit, found it, link pasted handily embeds the pic! I very loosely copied it using bits and bobs for my model a little while back Edited October 18, 2023 by jessy1692 Adding link 4 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_mcfarlane Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 The irony is that the Art-Deco original interior looks far more modern. We seem to have forgotten how to do Industrial design for about 25 years in the middle of the century. 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
