Does anyone have any information, or know of any sources, that list the specific carriages that were transferred to the ex-GE section? One at least was included in a regular Waveney Valley line set in the 1950s, and another was in the Thetford area?
TIA

A similar discussion is ongoing on the GERS E-Group. If we come to any conclusions I'll post here.

If you come to any conclusions on the GERS e-Group then I'll already know - it was because of the discussion on there (and your question of me) that I posted the above query here.PaulG wrote:A similar discussion is ongoing on the GERS E-Group. If we come to any conclusions I'll post here.

Re: GCR 'Barnum' Carriages
Hello. I have just purchased an album of photographs which includes what I believe to be three Barnums on GE territory. They are E5696E noted as a dining car (but looks more like a brake open to me) at Thetford on 09.05.53 and E5710E noted as being at Harlow 20.06.56.
Both these are H. C. Casserley views, 78755 & 89142 being noted respectively. 89143 is an interior view of E5710E
A third, unattributed, photograph said be be E5155E (number lined through with S underneath - scrapped?) is noted as being at Stratford 25.03.56. It is another brake open

Re: GCR 'Barnum' Carriages
Apologies 65447 for not making it clear. It was an old postcard album full of individual prints of LNER predecessors' carriage stock. It is not a publication.
Regards.

Thanks for the explanation - the contents should prove to be rather interesting.
