Derby Lightweight - single cars

[Robertm3110]

Hi, anybody know what the colour was of the floors on the Derby Lightweights, specifically the singles?  I think the seats were green with a a pattern but am open to correction or further thoughts.  Thanks…..

There's a colour picture (colourised I think rather than colour film) from about 1955 of the interior of a North Eastern trailer third from a 4-car set, and a black and white interior photo of one of the LMR single cars. The text suggests that seat colours were the same (but with different moquettes and styles of seating), but panelling colours varied. I don't think it specifically mentions the floor.

 

There's a picture of a first class interior of a red triangle set here: https://www.railcar.co.uk/images/21909

The third class seats in the background look similar to the single car interior.

Thanks Jeremy.  I will check those links.  Theres a a colour picture kicking around on the net of one of the singles at Banbury.  Through the cab the seats look green with a lighter pattern of spots.  The floor isnt critical as its not really visible but just wanted to get it right (O gauge kit)
