The prototype ’Car No. 78’ was one of the all-steel 'K' type Pullmans built by the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co. (Birmingham) in 1928. It served on the pre-war and post-war ‘Queen of Scots’ formation, having been specifically ordered for that service, and was retained on East Coast services until withdrawal in 1965. It is not one of the survivors, although sister car 'Car No. 79' is preserved on the North York Moors Railway. £550.
