The motor brake composite vehicle, converted from the former motor brake buffet standard. Note that from the new windows that the former snug and buffet area has been re-built into the first saloon. This is the third, and for some the fourth time this type of car has been rebuilt, each time increasing the passenger accommodation. photograph by Andrew Robertson |
