LSWR ‘Cross Country’ Sets

(130-324)

Outshopped in Crimson Lake livery 15^th January 1952, 3 LAV set 130 at Fareham on 23^rd May 1953, with the number of BTK S2983S (nearest) being clearly visible. Although the First-class ‘1’s on the composite aren’t visible (even when enhanced) it is anticipated that they were still present.

130-151, 251-262, 310-314 & 324

From 1904 onwards the LSWR started building four coach ‘Cross Country’ sets resulting in some seventy-five sets in service prior to the Grouping. Set changes came following a fall in traffic with the Great Depression of 1929-1930 alongside a drive to eliminate gas lighting and wooden underframes. Accordingly, the Third-class coaches were removed and some First-class compartments in the Composite Lavatory coaches downgraded to Third-class. Many of the Third-class coaches became Loose vehicles (with those documented on the Lancing Works Record Cards as becoming Loose noted in the tables below).

In 1946 the Southern started building new main line coaches to Bulleid’s designs with the BR Mk1 stock following after nationalisation. Maunsell main line stock was increasingly cascaded onto secondary services with the now-antiquated ex.LSWR stock related to lessor duties. It was not unknown for some pre-grouping sets to work just one return trip a day.

Sets were already being withdrawn under Southern Railway ownership. Most of these sets were withdrawn by end-1956 (on paper set 139 made it to 26^th January 1957 and set 314 wasn’t withdrawn until June 1957) although many of the Loose Thirds made it through to 1957. Some departmental vehicles and camping coaches survived for longer.

Numbering

Built to route-restriction ‘2’, the Southern Railway renumbered these sets and the SR numbers are quoted throughout, particularly as many the details of these changes (including LSWR coach & set numbering) are covered in Mike King’s and Gordon Weddell’s books (see Appendix 5).

Liveries

When the sets were re-numbered by the Southern Railway during the nineteen-twenties this was probably undertaken during a full repaint.

Whilst the pre-nationalisation Lancing Carriage Works Record Cards survive most of those for 1948-on are currently missing. Accordingly there are few specific dates on Crimson Lake livery, so only an informed consideration can be made as to whether sets carried this livery (or not) based around factors such as the last known paint-date, the ten-year painting cycle and withdrawal dates.

Lancing Carriage Works was still releasing repainted stock in (post-war) SR Malachite Green early February 1949 with Crimson Lake (and Cream) appearing at least by March 1949. Early-on, some Crimson Lake liveried coaches were waist-lined although it is not yet known if any of these ex.LSWR sets had this lining applied.

The Southern Third-class ‘3’ was usually removed from the coach doors by BR during first varnish or repaint and BR Gill Sans carriage numbers would also have been applied at this time.

Being pre-nationalisation stock, under British Railways the coach numbers carried S-prefix and (after May 1951) S-suffix with coaches being modified during their next varnish or repaint. These respectively denoted Southern Region allocation and Southern Railway (or earlier) design. The May 1951 edict required carriage numbering to be on the right-hand end of each coach.

However, many of these ex.LSWR sets would have been withdrawn by British Railways still in pre-nationalisation SR green, albeit with BR number styles (including S-prefix & S-suffix on individual coach numbers) having been adopted during one of the 2½-yearly varnishing cycles. It is believed that none of these ex.LSWR ‘Cross Country’ were outshopped in the darker BR(S) Green-livery (as applied from July 1956-on).

In general, the last Crimson Lake & Cream (CLC) vehicle outshopped from Lancing carriage works appear to be loose-allocated High Window Maunsell SK S1376S on 17^th July 1956 which followed set 466 (all of its eight coaches variously outshopped between 18^th June 1956 and 10^th July 1956) and individual coach 7964 (from CLC Set 440) along with Loose Second Open 1218. The first BR(S) Green-livery set outshopped by Lancing was corridor set 974 on 11^th July 1956 and the on the 18^th July 1956 Bulleid SK S61S was the first repainted from Crimson Lake & Cream into BR(S) Green-livery.

Abolition of Second Class

Third- class was designated second-class following the abolition of second-class by British Railways on Sunday 3^rd June 1956. The third-class ‘3’ being removed usually during varnishing or repainting.

SR Repairs

The Southern Railway / Southern Region used the following codes which continued at Lancing Works through to its closure.
Code	Notes
A	Intermediate or Heavy Intermediate repair. Whist the A2-exam could include a varnish from July 1956 the opportunity was regularly taken to repaint CLC-liveried stock into Green-livery.
E	General Repair (including repaint)
S	An examination to ensure a vehicle was fit for service when it was not scheduled for a repair
V	Varnish - usually ever 2½ years (Southern Railway code)

LSWR ‘Cross Country’ Sets in model form

On 2^nd November 2022 Bachmann (under the EFE banner) announced production of 4mm models of these sets which (B&C understands) utilised the same underframes as their Gate Stock. In terms of creative renumbering there is much that can be done with these models.
Cat. No.	Details (2^nd November 2022 announcement /January 2023 release)
E86013	Set 253 (BTL 2925 + CL 5056 + BTL 2929) in post-war SR Green (Malachite). Outshopped Lancing paint 12^th April 1945. Withdrawn April 1953. The Third-class ‘3’ has been omitted from the coach doors; these often being removed by BR during first varnish or repaint (with BR Gill Sans carriage numbers being applied at this time).
E86014	Set 130 (BTL S2953S + CL S5040S + BTL S2983S) in Crimson Lake livery. Outshopped Lancing paint 15^th January 1952. Withdrawn at Lancing 6^th October 1956. However, as modelled the set is formed BTL S2953 plus CL S5041 & BTL S2955; the latter two coaches being from set 131. The ‘S’ suffix has been omitted from the coach numbers (set was outshopped Crimson Lake on 15^th January 1952). Waist lining on Crimson Lake stock was discontinued circa 1952 although it is not known if this was carried by any of these ex.LSWR sets.
E86015	Set 314 (BTL S2979S + CL S5043S + BTL S2981S) in BR Green (post-war SR Green) outshopped Lancing paint 26^th June 1946. (Modelled with BR numbering). Withdrawn 21^st June 1957 (both BTLs) & 14^th August 1957 (CL). The coach numbers do not include an ‘S’ suffix which was added during varnishes /repaints undertaken after the May 1951 directive.
