Modelled from auto trailers numbers 36 to 41 which were released into service during January & February 1907 these coaches comprised a glazed cab end with regulator and train brake controls for the driver, two passenger saloons divided by a central door vestibule and a luggage compartment. One of the two passenger saloons was for smokers. Initially this was the rear saloon but from 1928 the larger cab end saloon was designated for smoking. Guards on auto trains usually rode in the central vestibule in order to assist passengers boarding the train and issue tickets from unstaffed halts.
Gas lighting was retained throughout the services lives of these coaches as the frequent stops and low speeds of branch trains often resulted in dynamos not providing enough voltage for long enough to charge lighting batteries.

  • Superbly detailed body with many added detailed parts
