The prototypes of these coaches date from 1904/5 and were reputed to be the
finest ever built by a Scottish railway for purely internal traffic. Initially
the sets ex-Aberdeen were formed :-
BCK + BTK / BTK + CK + BTK
Edinburgh / Glasgow
The full thirds were used as strengtheners when required. Some of each diagram
except D97 were dual fitted from new. Such rigidity of formation did not last
long and these coaches were soon found on many parts of the system and south
of the border on W.C.J.S. turns. Apart from a few accident victims and wartime
withdrawals, general withdrawal started in about 1948 with the last going
in 1955.
