ALL-STEEL PULLMAN K-TYPE STOCK FOR ‘N’ GAUGE

Revolution Trains keeps with a MetroCammell theme by adding the five different types of 1928 K-type Pullman coaches to its range. Constructed by Metro-Cammell, the 29 coaches were placed in service on GWR operated Ocean-Liner and Torquay Pullman services alongside the Tees-Tyne Pullman, Yorkshire Pullman and Master Cutler by the LNER and BR. In the 1960s, K-type Pullmans operated alongside other types of Pullman stock, adding to the appeal of the proposed new models. Today, a handful of K-type Pullman vehicles operate with former Brighton Belle trailers in the Belmond British Pullman and with VSOE in the past, hauled by a mixture of traction including

Class 73s, Class 47s and most recently, Class 67s, bringing a contemporary dimension to the models.

All five of the coach types will be offered as train packs to allow prototypical formations to be collected. The models are at the research stage prior to CAD and will incorporate internal lighting with individual table lamps, detailed interiors and flush glazing. If tooling permits, Revolution Trains plans to add the four additional coaches constructed in 1931 for the Bournemouth Belle service. It is expected that the order book for the models will be opened at the end of the year or January 2022.
