324 "Jos de Crau"

M324 Jos de Crau

A further part of the Pullman Dining set was converted from a Mark 1. Carriage M324, now known as 'Jos De Crau', was built at Swindon in 1961 and spent its BR life on the West Coast Main Line. It arrived on the NYMR in June 1983 after being purchased by the late NYMR patron, Jos De Crau. In the winter of 1994/95, the carriage was given an extensive overhaul and during the following winter, was provided with new kitchen equipment. The coach provides kitchen and bar facilities for the Pullman Dining Train and the seating is upholstered in vibrant red fabric. It includes seating for 24 people.
