Rail-Online Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Hi, I rather like this Gresley coach allocated to the Scottish Region. Can anyone tell me its type and year constructed etc please? Were there regular services with Gresleys on the WCML at this period, as this was a special relief. Cheers Tony Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenw Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Can anyone tell me its type and year constructed etc please? 16731 - It's D297 (end) Vestibule Corridor Brake Third (BTK), built York 1939.(ref: LNER Carriages by Michael Harris, Atlantic). By this time of coarse would be classed as Brake Second (BSK). This type is (or at least was) available in the Ian Kirk range, now with Cooper Craft, though some supply problems there (but that's another thread!). It's the end vestibule (door) type, with 4 compartments and, as seen, two pairs of luggage doors. The Hornby model's a Brake Composite (BCK), non-vestibule (doors in compartments) type, with 5 compartments and a single pair of luggage doors. Besides being totally the wrong shape to start off with! It was common for pre-nationalisation stock to work in other regions, particularly cross country workings as the respective regions would typically provide a set each which would alternate in each direction.
