Normal Body Style, Elliptical Roof, Brake with 4 compartments

This style of coach is classified by Lewis as LE7N.

There are 3 different designs and two of them had two diagrams for with and without the guard's ducket. The first was a one off composite slip coach which later lost it's slip gear and then was downgraded to a brake third. The second design is another brake composite which similar to the last design, a brake third. All three types can be differentiated by the number, size and spacing of panels between the brake compartment and adjacent compartment.
