3D Printed standard gauge quintuple suburban coaches
(ex LNER region)
In 1922 the GNR started building articulated coach sets for
their London suburban lines. These were 4 coach sets(quadruple), and building
continued into LNER days. Various companies were used to build these
coaches.
The ex GER suburban lines also needed new coaches, so a 5 coach set(quintuple)
was designed, using some of the same coaches as those for the GNR lines, but
with 2 different brake end coaches.
All these coaches were built with shorter compartments than mainline coaches,
and were intended for maximum usage. One consequence of this was overloading and
damaged underframes. These were strengthened, and tests were also tried using a
longer 8ft 6in bogie instead of the 8ft bogie. Plans were also drawn up for
conversion to EMUs, but none were converted.
These coaches lasted in service up till electrification of the lines in 1960,
and some from both 4 coach and 5 coach sets were transferred to other lines. The
final ones were withdrawn by 1966.
