Great Western Short Coaches

Metro Body Style, Single Arc Roof, 4 compartments with brake



This style of coach is classified by Lewis as LA0MW. In total there were only 8 coaches built to this style and they initally formed one train. Consequently there were only 2 brake coaches built, each to a different design in 1884. I've yet to track down a photo of either of these coaches; so if you've found one then I'd like a copy please. The distinguishing feature should be the number of panels adjacent to the van double doors.
