Hi James,

Adam West had a very interesting article, with diagrams, pictures and text,  on these Budd / Comeng
carriages in Sunshile Express Feb 1997 pages 297 to 305.

Interesting if you have access to any of the ARHS archives.

Re the other discussion on this thread about the use of former guard's van's bogies and underframes
recycled for the GSPE.  Adam West has also written some articles in more recent editions of Sunshine
Express explaining this matter.

Cheers
Peter
