Hello everyone from a new member.
I have received the lovely gift of a Hornby teak finish LNER sleeping car from my young sons for father's day just gone, which I will treasure. However I cannot find any information on how LNER sleeper rakes were composed. Does anyone know, and did they include buffet cars?

Hello and welcome
The sleeper rakes will depend on the route. The Northern Bell included items from the non-stop flying Scotsman such as the restaurant triplet set. So a buffet car atleast would have been in most.

Thanks for this. Information on the subject seems to be very sparse
