The exterior of the coaches utilised the 'low-window' Maunsell styling, with ventilators above the windows and doors at each end which were gently recessed to accommodate their grab handles within gauging limits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eInside, each coach could accommodate 64 diners and two toilets were located at the end of the coach furthest away from the kitchen\/dining first coach. Whereas a further 40 kitchen\/dining firsts were built to the same 'low-window' style from 1929 onwards, accompanying third class dining was felt to be better served by the new 'high-window' open third saloons and as a consequence, from 1930, the six third class restaurant dining saloons were reclassified as open thirds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1947 the six coaches received updated interiors, with 4 of the coaches becoming composite coaches and two becoming first class coaches. The four composite coaches, nos. 1365-1368, served on the South Western section of the railway network paired with diagram 2659 Kitchen \u0026amp; Buffet Cars.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53437212918099,"sku":"R40031","price":60.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_R40031.jpg?v=1777534284","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/br-maunsell-composite-dining-saloon-no-s78415","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
