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.
