No 7313 - Collett Composite

This coach comprises four First Class compartments and three Thirds and is subject to a long-term restoration of the First Class compartments and corridor. It is being re-upholstered to a 1940s pattern, and currently wears "wartime economy" brown livery. It is intended to extend this to the interior to the extent of displaying the relevant air raid notices, and applying blackout restrictions to the electric lighting and windows.
