C.R. 'Taunton Brake' Coach Kit
The 4 brake composites built in 1908/9 to Diagram 95B were unique in having the first class lavatory sited between the
First and Third Class compartments instead of between the First Class and the van which was standard on the other 65'
corridor composites. These coaches were used on through Glasgow-Taunton workings and a photograph of one with a
destination board lettered 'Glasgow Central & Bristol via Severn Tunnel' appears in O.S. Nock's book 'The Caledonian
Railway'. It is the leading coach in the 10am Glasgow to Euston train in the photograph.
These coaches were all dual fitted and featured the later full elliptical roof. The last was withdrawn in 1955.

Non-corridor 'Slip' Coach Kit
Six coaches were built to Diagram 103, four in 1906 and two in 1908 for use as slip coaches being variously slipped at
Couper Angus (for Blairgowrie), Grahamston (for Grangemouth), Gleneagles (for St. Fillans), Carluke (for Lanark) and
Cleghorn (again for Lanark) according to the July 1914 edition of the Main Line Carriage Workings book. In between
slip duties they were used on some quite mundane duties even being regularly rostered on the Kilsyth branch.
These coaches were Westinghouse braked only when new and featured the later full elliptical roof. The last was withdrawn
in 1953.
