Passenger Carrying Coaches
Maunsell High-Window Sets 22 to 199

(including 1935-1936 ‘Flush-sided’ stock)

 

Believed to be Malachite Green-livery, BSK coach 3736 of ‘P’ set 199 at Exeter Central (c.1955) coupled to a CLC-liveried coach; presumably 6657 of this mis-matched pair. 
Note the frameless balancing droplights on this coach; this being undertaken when it was refurbished for the Bournemouth Limited in 1938.

Set Numbering Conventions

BR(S) convention meant each set was normally arranged with the coach conveying first-class (CK) positioned adjacent to the higher-numbered BTK. On four coach sets this convention also positioned the corridor to the compartments on the same-side placing first-class towards the middle of each four-coach set.

Liveries

Lancing Carriage works was releasing repainted stock in SR Malachite Green early February 1949 with Crimson Lake (and Cream) appearing at least by March 1949.

The last Crimson Lake & Cream (CLC) vehicle outshopped from Lancing carriage works appear to be loose-allocated High Window Maunsell SK S1376S on 17th July 1956 which followed set 466 (all of its eight coaches variously outshopped between 18th June 1956 and 10th July 1956) and individual coach 7964 (from Crimson Lake & Cream Set 440) along with Loose Second Open 1218.

The first BR Green-livery set outshopped by Lancing was set 974 on 11th July 1956 and the on the 18th July 1956 Bulleid SK S61S was the first repainted from Crimson Lake & Cream into Green-livery.

Abolition of Second Class

Third- class was designated second-class following the abolition of second-class by British Railways on Sunday 3rd June 1956. As these sets only carried a number ‘1’ to denote first-class this change was essentially a paper one including BTK now being designated BSK. In the table below coaches are described as Third-class unless they were inserted into a set after 3rd June 1956 when Second Class is used.

8th May 1963 and a Memo to Works Manager, Carriage and Wagon Works, Eastleigh (reference RS.51/3/1/D titled Withdrawal of Coaching Stock states:

With reference to your conversation with Mr. Double last week; BSKs 2787, 3737, BCKs 6577 and 6588 have, as requested, today been placed in your works for breaking up.

Will you kindly arrange for the bodies and underframes to be cut up, recovering any useable details and also bogies, and if possible the body panels should be fired as I am given to understand that scrap material without any paint etc. on it can more easily be disposed of.

Kindly ensure that all details of the breaking up are recorded on future C.S.R.3 returns’.
