Can somebody help with information on these vehicles? I have photographs of a two-coach push-pull set being hauled by a C15. I assume that the coaches were some form of Gresley Non-Gangwayed stock. Can anyone help with information on exactly what type of vehicles were utilised and where I can obtain photos or drawings of the driving coach end.
The Sunnyfifeman.

This set was used between Craigendoran and Arrochar. I was oringinally a 3 car set BT(4), CL(3/4) and BC(2/4), though it often ran as a two car set in later years. The original diagrams were 65,50 and 118 and running numbers SC86983E, SC88024E and SC80326E and SC80327E respectively. For some reason two BCs seem to have been converted. As far as I know the BT had a standard LNER driving end fitted.

Bill,
Belated thanks. I posted similar questions on several sites and somehow omitted to check this one despite receiving no answers from anywhere else. I am in your debt, Sir.
