This morning i have been re reading the accident report for the derailment of Merry Hampton with the up Flying Scotsman at Cramlington in 1926 and it mentions damage to an articulated set Nos 6441J, 6442J and 6443J. I presume that this is a triplet dining set with the numbers being applied to individual coach portions. How were mainline articulated stock numbered and does the suffix J indicate former ECJS vehicles?
Was the above set repaired?

Re: Numbering of articulated stock.
The 'J' is ECJS and as used some months immediately after the 1923 grouping.
Generally artic units were numbered (for example) 44001/2 etc (originally 4001N/4002N)
which was quite logical.
Your triplet would have lost the'J' and gained a '1' prefix.

Re: Numbering of articulated stock.
I just have a rake of teaks and a rake of MK1's in maroon. Everything seems to look right with them, oh I have pullmans too, but they don't get run too often.
