CPHW02. Pullman 'K' Type Third Class Brake/Parlour Car No. 79. As running post-war with grey roof and steel sides. This is well built and painted substantial model probably from a Westdale kit and fitted with a Kadee coupling on the buffer bean of the train end and a link coupling on the brake end. The model is lightly used and supplied in a RJH box (not original to the model). The prototype was one of the 1928 batch built by Metropolitan-Cammell Carriage, Wagon & Finance Co. Ltd of Birmingham for the LNER 'Queen of Scots' East Coast service. Although difficult to trace a Pullman car's full service record it seems to have remained on the 'Queen of Scots' until withdrawal in 1965. It was sold for scrap but fortunately then reprieved and purchased for use as a board room until 1973 before being preserved on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway. £250.
