LNER Gresley 61ft 6in carriage body width

i agree Sawdust it is important to understand the various items over which various dimensions are made, and what the various components are.

I did mean the "outer edge" of the floor, which has beading on it which closes the door joint at the floor. However, I am not sure that I know where the muck cornice is. We all, even those who study things often only have knowledge of certain of the "standard terms " that might later cause confusion if not properly explained and regularly re explained.

Since LNER Gresley's were LNER wide, rather than GNR carriages which were mainly restricted to that line. However it is important to remember that even into the LNER times, in reality, ECJS carriages were a somewhat to the side set of vehicles and made again to a generic height to allow them to travel from London to Aberdeen in one unit. If you check some of the early LNER docs, they are still referred to as ECJS carriages. not sure when that stopped, still looking for the dates.
