Product Description
By the 1960s the majority of the Pullmans had been transferred to the Southern Region (see the BR Bournemouth Belle above) but the Pullman brakes were retained on the ECML to run with the new Mark 1 Pullmans as no Mark 1 Pullman brakes were built. This twin pack is perfect to go with Farish Mark 1 Pullmans.
Pack of 2 coaches:
Car No. 79
Car No. 80
The models will include the following features:
- Different body styles appropriate for each coach type
- NEM standard coupling sockets with kinematic close coupling system
- Prism Free Glazing
- Fully detailed Underframe
- Fully detailed and painted / printed accurate interiors
- Interior lighting and working table lamps
- Separately applied etched metal and high fidelity plastic detail parts, including handrails, brake pipes
Revolution Trains is pleased to offer its first N gauge Pullman coaches in the form of the 1928 all-steel K- type Pullmans. Metropolitan Cammell built 29 Pullman cars of 5 different body types: Kitchen 1sts and 3rds, Parlour 1sts and 3rds and Parlour Brake 3rds - we will offer all 5 body types in train packs to allow prototypical formations to be assembled. A further 4 cars (81-84) were built in 1931 for the Bournemouth Belle.
Some of the K-types were used by the GWR on Ocean-Liner and Torquay Pullman services from 1929, but perhaps the more famous use was by the LNER and then BR in services such as the Queen of Scots, Tees-Tyne Pullman, Yorkshire Pullman and Master Cutler. By the mid-late 1960s some of the K-types were being used with other Pullman types (particularly the brakes) but unfortunately some were disposed of for scrap.
A few of the K-types continue to see service in the Venice Simplon Orient Express (VSOE) and a number survive to this day in preservation.
Our model will feature our usual high levels of detail and include interior lighting and working table lamps. The VSOE/British Pullman pack contain the modern variations with Gresley bogies and underframe trussing.
