CTS51. Pullman ‘K’ Type Third Class Brake/Parlour Car 'Car No. 77'. As running post-war with grey roof and steel sides. This was produced in Korea by F.C. Models for Golden Age Models. These highly detailed brass models were factory built in brass, are highly unlikely to be bettered, and have been unavailable for some time. Fitted with working interior lighting, highly detailed interior and underframe, opening doors and glass windows. It also has roller bearing axles fitted for smooth running, and seated passengers have been added. The model is supplied in its original box having been lightly used on a working layout. Note that the brake cars are harder to find so I can only sell this one with at least one non-brake car. All the eight Pullmans being listed today are representative of 'Queen of Scots' cars if anyone wishes to purchase a rake. The prototype was one of the 1928 'All Steel' K Type Pullmans, constructed specifically for the East Coast 'Queen of Scots' service. From 1928 up to World War II it stayed on this service then was loaned to the LNER, still on East Coast service, but likely to have been painted all over brown and used as 'ordinary' first class stock with Pullman fittings removed. After post-war refurbshment Car No. 77 returned to East Coast services until withdrawal in late 1964, one of few Pullman vehicles not to stray further away from its original allocation. It is not one of the survivors, although sister car 'Car No. 79' is preserved on the North York Moors Railway. £550.
