Jonpaul (@lnerjp), I hope that you can fill in some gaps in the above posts.

* I did not notice the passenger compartment table which ought to have been stowed against the end wall of the corridor. If you know where one is then can you please add a photo.

* There are no photos of the toilet interior... the door was locked when I travelled. If you could oblige with some photos then there are at least three WTers who are likely to be pleased.

* The photos of the outside door to the passenger compartment show two metal fittings below the ashtrays... I suspect that these are supports for the passenger table. Your thoughts please.

regards, Graham

This photo shows the roof furniture of BTK 3669, photo taken in April 2017.

The reason for the photo is in the detail, as always; look at the position of the ventilator for the toilet compartment. The toilet ventilator is off of the centre-line to make room for the water tank filler which is, roughly, on the centre-line of the roof. If the ventilator was on the centre-line then that would place the vent over the corridor screen rather than inside the toilet compartment.
