Kitchen Car roof details

[Mol_PMB]

This photo came up in one of my eBay searches - I haven't bought it but just linking it here in case it's of interest to someone.

Us modellers spent most of our time looking at carriage rooves, so it's good to get the roof details correct. But good photographs from above can be hard to find, especially for rarer coach types. 

So, just in case anyone wants to model a CIE kitchen car, here you are:

There were only two of these, 2403 and 2407, and I think the number on this one reads 2407.

 

The BR van in the foreground is in a shocking state compared to the rest of the train!

Vans - be they older wooden ones, all types of tin vans, genny vans, BR or Dutch vans - often were allowed to get into a shocking state of filth, whereas passenger carriages were kept in much better order inside and out.
