On both the Midland and Western Blue Pullmans, the outer three bogies at each end were the powered type (9'6" wheelbase), thats the 2 under the power car and the next one (kitchen car on the Midland, 2nd class parlour on the Western) adjacent to the power car. The power bogie under the drive compartment had no electric motors, but was still a power type. All the other bogies were trailer (8'6" wheelbase). I believe this arrangement was to get the weight distribution right.
