Choobacca Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Could anyone tell me if the Brighton Belle's trailer car would ever have been used at the end of a steam train? I was thinking about using one instead of a brake coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naugytrax Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 At each end of a 5-car "Brighton Belle" set was a Motor Brake Parlour car. The 3 trailer cars in the center were Parlours with Kitchen (2) and third-class Parlours (1). So there was no trailer car which would have been suitable for use as a bake. The Brighton Belle was, in fact, an EMU and so no part of it could be used on a steam train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choobacca Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Looks like I'll be using a brake coach after all. Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
