I have a similar picture, no idea where it is, of one of my uncles at Taplow station where he worked for many years. They always looked so smart.
Nurse, the screens!

Indeed Terry, the coach in these pictures will be fun to build,
I think its a five compartment coach, if anyone knows anything about it, please let me know ie. colour etc. although it has no paint left by the looks of it.
