Gresley Buffet Car 9135 was used on an Edinburgh to Kyle of Lochalsh SRPS railtour round about 1973 this was the first Gresley Buffet the SRPS wanted to buy due to its good condition, but we were told that the car was claimed by the NRM in York, and since restored to its 1935 condition. 9132 our second choice was bought by the SRPS and ran on our tours till 1982/83 its fasted run was on a London railtour in the late 1970's achieved a record 110 mph on the west coast mainline and survived. Then since wooden bodied coaches were banned to run on the main line, was replaced by RKB 1513, hired from BR, then in 1986 RBR 1730 was used and it still in traffic on SRPS railtours
