Description
These full brakes were a wartime expedient, using new bodies on 57′ underframes from damaged passenger carriages (the first two used underframes from the ex-LNWR Royal Train). They were fitted with riveted bogies, torpedo vents, and like the contemporaneous 50′ BGs had no waist beading. They were used in passenger trains, parcels trains and in newspaper distribution. The gangways were often removed in later BR days. Photographs should be consulted if you are concerned to portray a particular example.
Please note that the instruction sheet is incomplete as we need further information on the roof vent layout. A complete kit (to be M71K) is not available yet for the same reason.
