walkingthedog Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Did you try a Google or Yahoo search. I did and came up with this. Any good? http://britishrailways.info/pullman_cars.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Ever made? It will be a big number. A lot has been named. I doubt such list exists, but it will be interesting to see how many exist, if such list does exist. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Did you try my link Jacob?? Your link is about the real life coaches, not the OO Gauge replica model's, made by Hornby. GNR-Gordon-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanQ4 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 GNR-Gordon-4Your link is about the real life coaches, not the OO Gauge replica model's, made by Hornby. That's what the question was about.Pretend trains never used any service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walkingthedog Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 As Norman states Jacob, where is the request for a list of Hornby Pullman coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCDR Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 You will need to undertake very careful research if you want to be 100% certain which Pullman cars were used on which service at any time, some WERE allocated to specific services but could be swapped on to other services if vehicles developed faults and had to be stopped for repairs. Also as new cars were introduced older cars were cascaded on to other services, and transferred to other railway companies' services. A few cars worked in the mainland of Europe before the War, but subsequently returned to Great Britain.. Also train services changed over the years and the demand for a certain number of cars would increase or decrease. All cars were withdrawn and stored for the duration of World War 2. The big users were the Southern Railway / Southern Region and London and North Eastern Railway / Eastern/North Eastern/Scottish Regions, whereas the London Midland and Scottish and Great Western Railways were only occasional users. Before Grouping the big users were the Midland Railway and London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, but the Great Northern, Highland, Caledonian, and Great Eastern all used them for periods. There were some unusual Pullman users, in particular the Metropolitan Railway who from 1910 operated two cars on principal business services between Aylesbury and Aldgate in London, the cars were 'Galetea' and 'Mayflower'. The London Transport Passenger Board continued to operate them after 1933 until 1940. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWR-Gordon-4 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 OK, I'm sorry. I got it wrong. I thought the orginal poster (Not sure what their username now), wanted the list of all of the Pullman Coaches that Hornby have released.

walkingthedog Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 I had another look and Richard made no mention of Hornby at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_redding Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Replying to the OP, here is the preserved list which may be of interest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preserved_British_Pullman_carriages Conversely, does anyone know where there may be a list of all the Hornby Pullmans produced? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96RAF Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 The post is 2 years old so the OP may either not be interested now or have found his answer.Try hornbyguide.com searching the passenger coach and trainset databases to see what they list.

LCDR Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Ramsey's guide was usually a good source of information, but the latest copy is, I believe, three years old now. It amazes me how these old posts keep being resurected. There seems to have been a spate of this just of late. I wonder if this a symptom of there not being a FAQ section, possibly even a Hornby Wiki, that would enable people to search out facts than have been posted previously?

walkingthedog Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 I think it's a case of people not taking note of when the post was ladt used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
