Bulleid
Coaches

Information on Bulleid coach set formations may be obtained from the 'Appendices to the Carriage Working Notices' held in the SRG Library or from SRG Data Sheets.

We would also recommend 'An Illustrated History of Southern Coaches' by our member Mike King which provides a comprehensive range of photographs and drawings. 'Bulleid's SR Steam Carriage Stock' by David Gould (Oakwood 1994) is also recommended. Also available in sheet form are the drawings made by Mike King, to whom application including an SAE should be made, at: 16 Barricane, St Johns Hill Road, Woking, Surrey, GU21 1RB.

The 'Bournemouth' coaches were similar to the coaches in 
the previous section, but with bodysides extended over 
the solebars.  Note also that there were significant 
differences in the arrangement of the braking system 
and battery boxes on this 1947 (and later) stock compared 
with that built earlier.  All were formed into 6-sets 
290 - 300 (SC60/64/62/63/61/60) and mostly worked between 
Waterloo and Bournemouth.

SC65E Kitchen & Buttery Car 
            (Tavern Car) built 1949          2663  £27.00
SC66E Composite Restaurant Car
            (Tavern Trailer) built 1949      2664  £27.00
SC67E Composite Restaurant Car 
            (rebuild of SC66E) 1950-1        2665  £27.00
SC68E Kitchen Buffet Car 
            (rebuild of SC65E) 1959-60       2668  £27.00

The prototypes were the controversial 'Tavern Sets', 8 pairs of which were built in 1949 (SC65E/SC66E). Controversial because the Restaurant Cars had only top lights (ie no large windows) and half the 'Tavern Car' was originally finished externally in imitation brickwork and half timbering, and displayed a pub sign. The Restaurant Cars were rebuilt with a full complement of windows in 1950-1 (SC67E) while the Taverns remained internally styled as a pub (some at least externally repainted green) until remodelled in 1959-60 (SC68E).
