With the need for a less demanding project than Pullman's, I plumped on backdating the NER & GNR Non-Corridors to their original pre grouping liveries. A little more demanding than I anticipated with all the lining. Not to mention a rebuild of the observation saloon into it's pre 1930's condition wi...

Wow, the LMS maroon livery looks even better on them tha the standard Pullman livery! Matter of opinion that :). The Wooden Bodied K Type Pullmans are at last finished. A few shots of some of the Wooden K Types on the Imperial Airways Empire Service to Southampton, at Waterloo courtesy of Sean53. A...

I forgot to post some shots of the six Scottish Cars that were sold to the LMS in December 1933. Shots of the two diagrams. Just finishing the passenger files and about to start on the passenger views. [album 22880 PuW70.jpg thumblinkbig] [album 22880 PuW71.jpg thumblinkbig] [album 22880 PuW72.jpg t...

The final batch of cars, the eight repatriated Continental cars used previously by the Compagnie des Wagons Lits on the Milan Cannes and Milan Venice services. Repatriated in 1929 and subject to some rebuilding, were all allocated to the Golden Arrow, making there first run in July 1930. Most of the...

The final batch of Pullman wooden K Thirds built by the Midland Railway Carriage & Wagon Ltd. Three Kitchen Parlours and three Full Parlours. Built for the Harrogate & Edinburgh Pullman. Unusually the three Kitchen Parlours shared the same marquetry, with only the seating moquette being different. T...

The next batch built in 1927 by the Metropolitan Carriage Wagon & Finance Company were three Kitchen Parlour Cars for the Harwich Boat Trains, replacing earlier 12 wheelers. I almost forgot the ex continental cars repatriated in 1929. They will follow the next batch of Third Class Cars. That will co...

The next batch built in1927 were three Kitchen Parlours, and three Full Parlours similar to Rosemary but with larger parlours. Initially allocated to the LNER, by the time they received the 1929 livery they were allocated to the Southern. Most of them rostered on the Golden Arrow until the end of 19...

A batch of six First Kitchen Parlour cars with reduced seating capacity (20) giving more room for diners. Easy to tell apart from the earlier cars by the number of parlour windows (5 instead of 6). This became the standard in the later steel K Types. The batch following these reverted to the denser ...

The next batch of six Third Class Cars constructed by the Birmingham Carriage & Wagon Co, consisted of three Parlours and three Kitchen Parlours. Still some work on the gold lining on three of them. The Parlours were similar to the previous Parlours built by the Midland Carriage & Wagon Co, but had ...

Yes Pullman's are a bit of a minefield when it comes to research. I never take anything published as gospel and always second check. Whatever liveries were used pre WW2 will be included in this set. The post WW2 set will follow later. Next the third batch of Pullman Thirds built by the Midland Carri...

Next off, three First Class Kitchen Parlours. The first cars fitted with disembarkation lights over the doors. All cars have their own individual interiors. Next batch, three Third Class Cars.

The six cars built in 1924, originally for the Dover Boat Train service, though by the time they were repainted in the 1929 livery they had been dispersed to other areas of the Southern and some to the LNER.

The next batch of 1924 consisting of two First Kitchen Parlours. Different again to proceeding cars. Pullman were still experimenting with layouts in the K series.
