CDS134. Pullman 'K' Type Brake/Third 'Car No. 78'. In post-war livery with grey roof and with lightly weathered underframe. This is a detailed brass model produced in Korea by F.C. Models for Golden Age Models. Fitted with working interior lighting, highly detailed interior and underframe, opening doors and glass windows. It also has roller bearing axles fitted for smooth running. This is a used model with some modifications. The grey roof has been badly repainted at some time, and the electrics for the lighting have been modified. The battery box has been removed and the lighting works on direct pickup from the track (with what looks to be a 'stay alive' circuit) but please note that 2 of the table lamps are not working. The model is supplied in a Golden Age box but not the original one for this coach. The prototype ’Car No. 78’ was built by the Metropolitan Carriage & Wagon Co. (Birmingham) in 1928 as one of the 'all-steel' Pullmans. It served on the pre-war and post-war ‘Queen of Scots’ formation, having been specifically ordered for that service, and was retained on East Coast services until withdrawal in 1965. £250.
