C.R. 57' Semi-Corridor Coach Kits

57' 8 wheel semi-corridor stock built 1913-14 and 1920-22. Each kit costs £35

Packed Weight 600g each

D115a (CC7/7a) was a contemporary of the other 57' corridor and non-corridor stock in the range while the remainder date from just before the first world war and feature a completely different style of body and an underframe carried on 10' wheelbase bogies.

The lavatory brake composites of D115/115A were favourites for one coach branch line trains right through to B.R. days. They were also popular, together with the other varieties, as through coaches (e.g. to Oban) and on longer distance trains where no dining facilities were provided: while each coach had two internal half-corridors to give access to a lavatory from every seat, the weight per seat was lower than gangwayed stock.

Caledonian Railway Coat of Arms

"Wha dare meddle wi' me" - a loose translation of the Scottish motto (nemo me impune lacessit, litterly meaning "no-one provokes me with impunity") which was appropriated along with the Scottish coat of arms (without any sanction from the Lord Lyon, King of Arms) by the Caledonian Railway Co.
