The late Andi06 made a very important contribution with his Gresley LNER coaches, Gresley LNER Quad-Art coaches and Pullman coaches. From reading Steve Banks I have a wishlist of someone building coaches for the DLS to the same template of Andi06 but in the following 61 ft 6 in bogie gangway types:
Restaurant First (RF)
Restaurant Unclassified (RU)
Restaurant Third (RT)
Restaurant Third Pantry (RTP)
Open First (FO)
Open Third (TO)
Semi-Open First (SFO)
Brake Composite (BCK)
If compatible with Andi06's coaches and with the same livery options they would allow quite a range of LNER expresses to be assembled. The Flying Scotsman, streamliners and other named expresses had specific stock built for them and a number of end-vestibule types were built for long distance principal expresses from the early 1930s. By WWII they still only amounted to around 8% of bogie gangway stock in use. Steve Banks writes that in 1939 over half the coaching stock in use on the LNER was still of pre-grouping origin.
