L20      THE TORQUAY PULLMAN LIMITED £15.99

The Torquay Pullman Limited was the Great Western Railway's only all-Pullman train. It ran from July 1929 to the end of the Summer season in 1930. A Castle class loco hauled newly built "White Pullman" coaches - identical in design to those built for and used on the LNER's Queen Of Scots service.

The L20 pack contains sufficient labels to model a four coach train, with panels that fit over Hornby's R223/4312 Parlour First coaches. The pack includes:
  • Four sets of ivory white side panels,
  • Seven names for coaches that ran in the train,
  • Guard Parlour door signs,
  • Large GWR-style roof boards for the train,
  • Plain tail boards.
No special headboard was used with this train.

The images are printed on a full A4 sheet. The lettering and lining are to scale, printed on smooth ivory white panels edged with umber. Quite simple to fit, the panels produce truely stunning coaches.

Our L22A pack includes full lower name panels for three of the coaches used here if you are looking to improve on Hornby's printing for the Pullman coat of arms there.

Note that although the Parlour car models are perfect for the task, the real 12-wheel brake cars used in the train, "CAR No 40 THIRD CLASS" & "CAR No 41 THIRD CLASS", were not the same as any Hornby models made to date. They were similar to the 2011 R4477 brake car model, but the luggage doors were in a different place and the number of windows different - hence no brake car panels in this pack.

The L20 panels could also be used to recreate Queen Of Scots coaches, when used with either Hornby's supplied Parlour First coach names or the other name panels in our L22A pack. The Queen Of Scots roof boards can be made under our Custom order section as the original LNER black lettering on white 8 foot boards.
