What was the internal layout of a Bulleid 'Tin Van' - the luggage variant numbered in the 2700 series? Was the guard's office partitioned off from the luggage space? My impression from photos is that the interior was entirely open-plan. Since they acted as a guard's van, I imagine that there must have been at the very least the following, but I don't know how they were arranged: a seat a desk a handbrake Some photos give an impression of a fire extinguisher and a shelf at one end: Has anyone on the forum got a drawing, photo or recollection of how the interior was laid out? I have found this information for the heating variant - both a drawing in the HMRS collection and a very nice model by David Malone illustrated in N.I.L. https://hmrs.org.uk/hmrs-5597-train-heating-van-18ft-w-b-30ft-o-b.html https://newirishlines.org/archive/ Vol 7, No.5, page 166 The luggage van variant could have been similar, but without the boiler compartment and tank.

Thanks John, that's very useful to know. The one and only time I tried shorting a wheel with a bit of brass wire, I cut right through the wheel boss with the piercing saw in my heavy-handed enthusiasm! -
