Designed to provide a proportion of first class seating suitable for local and branch line services the GWR formed coach sets, with suburban stock often being semi-permanently coupled. The familiar 2 coach set is frequently identified as a 'B set', the code lettered used on the south west divisions' classic GWR branch lines, though the letter designations varied on other divisions.
These two-coach sets were not restricted to branch lines, the Bristol division sets were used on local services along the mainlines, often with two sets coupled together to make longer formations

While the usual motive power for a B set was one of the GWRs panniers like the 64/74xx or 57xx/8750 locomotives being produced by Dapol or 45xx class small prairies coming from Lionheart Trains other locomotive classes were also used. The larger 5101 class prairie locomotives (Heljan) would often be preferred for faster mainline routes, often with longer formations and the Bristol to Swindon locals via the Badminton route were worked by whatever engines Swindon works needed running in. A fresh from overhaul express passenger 4-6-0 heading up a 2-coach B set was routine!
