London & North Eastern Railway
Buffet Car No 43138. Designed by Gresley these coaches were introduced in 1933 - this particular vehicle being built in 1938. They were to be found on many express services that did not have full dining facilities. They were classless and could be used by any passengers. 43138 is depicted as built but some internal changes were made after nationalisation.
The livery is standard LNER but the lettering was somewhat larger than on other coaching stock.
