The Budd Silver Princess appeared in the LMS diagram book on page 59 as Diagram 2186, also on page 59 A as diagram 2190, the latter was the smooth sided rebuilt version. Back Track magazine of Dec. 2007 pages 780 and 781 showed pictures of the interior and exterior of this vehicle, in the original state and as re-painted in carmine and cream . The pictures were credited to Pendragon collection and T.J.Edgington. In that Dec. 2007 issue Backtrack/ Pendragon stated that they had a SET of OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHS of these vehicles , but very limited information , and asked if any readers could help in this direction . Other pictures have appeared elsewhere credited to the well known author G.M.Kichenside. The Pressed Steel / Budd company Archives are with the NRM and merit a search. The Budd company of USA ( the builders ) were happy to supply information and photographs way back in 1970, but since then the company has folded and , like so many , has been absorbed and / or taken over by other companies , who inturn have been taken over and is now owned by JUNGHEINRICH of Germany, whether they have the Budd company USA archives is not known.
