The LNER Encyclopedia

Does anyone have any pictures of the interior of the First Class or Third Class RTS? I have recently ordered a book that has a picture of the Third Class car decorated for Christmas in but all the First Class such as the one below contradict all the information that I have about these coaches.

The information that I have that has come from Model Rail April 2006 says that the seating was 2:1 and that the lights were in pelmets so as not to 'spoil' the appearance of the ceiling. Is this picture of one of the RTS or is it a separate coach.

I've just looked in Nick Campling's "Historic Carriage Drawings, Vol. 1 LNER and Constituents".

All of the restaurant cars and buffets have drawings (side and plan), and side photos. No interior photos of these particular coaches though.

Pg. 46-9.
The Gresley Triplet Restaurant Car is also shown as 2+1 seating for both the First and Third coaches .

Pg 34-35 show the Gresley 61ft 6in Corridor Restaurant First.
Pg. 18-19 also show the Buffet Car.
Both are drawn with 2+1 seating.
