BR Pullman Brake real or imagined?

I've mentioned the K-type to Bachmann on a few occasions; you never know, they might just be round the corner--such is their new 'announcement' system which doesn't give much time for financial planning!

It's nice to dream that something might eventuate. Unfortunately something that detailed, and relatively unique, by the time they come out, would be around 65 quid each.

Maybe we should be asking Hornby to make them! They have done the research already for 00 and they have shown willing to produce the Brighton Belle. Perhaps they would be up for it under the Arnold brand. Surely there would be a bigger demand for these coaches than for the Belle.

This thread seems to have gone into the realms of fantasy. To bring it back to where it started, we were talking about Mark one Pullmans, which the Brighton and Bournemouth Belles were not, so here is a shot of the Tees Tyne Pullman with Mark Ones and the brake used by the Eastern Region. Interestingly the brakes in this case were not the only older style Pullmans included in the rake.

BR never produced a Mk 1 Pullman Brake, initially using K-type Brake Seconds. The weren't enough of those, so I believe that they converted some K-type Parlour Seconds to make up the numbers. I have been lobbying for someone to come up with K-types, notably NGS, Revolution and Simon Dawson at Rue d'Etropal. No luck yet, but a few more voices could help....

Hi @crepello

That would be great but remember there is also Dapol and even Rapido UK...

Kind regards

Thanks @honk843 judging by that photo I might well be justified in running an old style PFK "Falcon" with a white roof in my rake along with the borrowed West Region brakes.

On a thread about a year ago, I gave examples of (mainly) ECML Pullmans and the brake coaches used.

Unfortunately I can't find thread, but  it should be searchable.

Also note PLDs replies in the links given early in this thread.

If you are interested in Pullmans in general, you might try this link:

There is a series of newsletters that cover many aspects of Pullman operations.

In 1965 W Churchill's funeral train was made up of Pullman stock with brake cars 208 and Isle of Thanet at each end.

Car 208 is a 1927 Parlour third, not a Brake vehicle.
Isle of Thanet is a 1925 built Brake.

Neither were mk1 Pullmans as we're discussing here...

[joe cassidy]

I was just trying to give an example of a train with Mk1 pullman cars and earlier pullman brakes.

1960 Master Cutler; four 1st Class Mk1 Pullmans between two K-type brakes!
