The Royal Duchy

'The Royal Duchy' train set is consisted of traditional Mk1 First and Standard class coaches. All coaches are liveried in 'Chocolate and Cream' which represents the classic GWR Western Region livery carried in the late 1950's and early 1960's time period before the corporate days of the British Rail Blue and Grey era.

This train can provide 252 Premier / First Class seats and 320 - 384 Standard Class seats. Additional to provide a dining service a Kitchen Car can also be consisted as well as a Buffet Car to provide a service of refreshments, boosting capacity of an extra 44 standard class seats.

'The Royal Duchy' train set is dual braked to operate with both modern air braked and locomotives as well as the more traditional vacuum braked steam locomotives running on the national network.

The key below shows typical consists of how this set is formed. Please be aware that a "Generator coach" (AX5) or a "Brake coach" (BCK) has to be included in any train formation due to regulations set by Network Rail. (A generator coach is only used normally during winter months but is available to provide heating as required through the coaches if the locomotive is not fitted with train heating equipment.)
