Initially, the coaching stock was imported from America, but the British ‘Pullman Car Company’ was formed in 1882, named after American pioneer, George Pullman. The company entered into contracts with the various railway companies of the day, to offer opulent first class seating complete with at-table steward service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Pullman Car Company had its own workshops at Brighton and manufacture of Pullman Cars was also carried out by the Birmingham Railway Carriage \u0026amp; Wagon Company and the Metropolitan Cammell Carriage \u0026amp; Wagon Company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePullman cars provided a superior standard of First Class travel, with Kitchen Cars introduced that could serve cooked meals, served at the passenger’s table, which would be dressed with clean white linen and the finest crockery and tableware. Before long, Pullman trains were operating on all of the principal long-distance routes in Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePullman services were operated by all of the ‘Big Four’ companies, ever the Great Western which was initially reluctant to have them as it believed its own coaches were luxurious enough. All First Class Cars had names, in a Greek naming convention, though when Third Class vehicles were included in trains, these instead had the car number emblazoned on each side. All vehicles had a distinctive umber and cream livery, with the Pullman coat of arms proudly displayed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter Nationalisation, the Pullman Car Company was bought by the British Transport Commission in 1954, by which point, apart from ten recently built cars, the fleet had become somewhat elderly. It was decided to modernise Pullman services as part of the British Railways 1955 Modernisation Plan, with new coaching stock and diesel or electric haulage. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough moderately successful, services declined, and the last Pullman trains operated under BR in 1972.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item grid__item--40\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section section--default\" id=\"whatsInside\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item wysiwyg\"\u003e1 x Model Passenger Coach, 1 x Accessory Pack\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53843278954835,"sku":"TT4003H","price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_TT4003H.jpg?v=1780653057","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/hornby-tt4003h-pullman-1st-class-kitchen-fingall","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
