Re: Tait Trains and prams

And I seem to recall ( late 60's - early 70's ) that some Tait sets had a
special pram compartment
It looked like a guards compartment, but wasn't.  It was generally near the
middle of the train.
And it wasn't the drivers compartment for if the train was split.
Wasn't the guards compartment just the driver's compartment, but at the back of
the train?
( ie it was the drivers compartment for the other direction)

This was on GW line.  Of course, we called them red trains back then.
