Fredo Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Hi, Anyone have any thoughts as to the formations of BR Exhibition Trains in the early 60’s or ideas as to where I could look for the information. Thanks Fred Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted February 2 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2 Formations were 100% dependent on the purpose of the train and what the customer require. But there was probably a greater variety of vehicles used in exhibition trains at that time as they weren't under central control. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium keefer Posted February 2 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 2 There may be mention in the relevant Railway Observer, certainly were mentioned in the 1970s editions although by then, they were mainly Mk1 stock in the 99xxx series as Mike says, under central control (and were all based at Salisbury, i think). There had been a programme of upgrading the fleet to Mk1, especially as large numbers of withdrawn coaches became available - remember a lot of coaches would basically be an empty body with most doors/windows plated over. Trains in the '60s I presume would have much more pre-nat build/design stock. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
