[edit] Notes to Add

• Observation Car: History of the glass end?

• The Dining Car is the oldest railway carriage currently in use in the world

• The Dining car was used by Douglas Haig, 1st Earl Haig as a mobile command post during World War I--Jamesedmo 19:35, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Additional coaches

What is the rake running as? If we look at http://mirfield-mpd.fotopic.net/p24604894.html I can see a Mark 1 brake, a Pullman, another Mk 1 brake, a Mark 2 (a/b/c) and then LNWR Dining Car No. 5159, GNR Family Saloon No. 807 and finally WCJS Observation Car No. 41 (the view from the last spoiled by a DRS 37).

The second issue is that the name is taken from an LNER express... — Dunc|☺ 21:49, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The Mk 2 is possibly 5278 per Image:Mk 2A TSO 5278 'Melisande' at Cheltenham Spa.JPG? — Dunc|☺ 21:59, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

The Queen of Scots is normally made up of LNWR Dining Car No. 5159, GNR Family Saloon No. 807 and WCJS Observation Car No. 41 with two Mk. 1 service cars. In http://mirfield-mpd.fotopic.net/p24604894.html, the vehicle identified as a British Rail Mark 2 is in fact GWR No.9004 which is on long term loan to the train. The Pullman (The Hadrian Bar) was added for this particular train --Charwelton 23:31, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
