Photographs of the afternoon Jacobite service on 10th July 2017, shows the interior of each coach. Coach 'A' is at the Mallaig end of the set, coach 'F' is at the Fort william end of the train (note:- "A", "B", etc. are my identities for the photographs - these identities are not carried by the carriages).

Hopefully Bob (@Bob-65B) can give the appropriate name of the moquette and comment on the wall covering/colouring. Of interest in the Mk.2 coaches is the difference in the seat construction - one at least appears to have two separate seats on each side of the corridor.



Coach A - Mk.1 FO no. 3143, to Dia.73, Lot 30717.

Not a lot to say I'm afraid Graham - the moquette in the first Class is not one of the original BR patterns so I assume it's a modern take on an old theme - as for the trim in the Mk2's - If I'm not mistaken the original blue/green check has been replaced with a late BR blue check pattern and again it's been a more recent refurb.

This coach carries branding for "Melisande" inside - an indication that the carriage was once part of the "Excalibur Express" set.

As a point of interest, Graham has photographed the afternoon set which is only used in the summer high season, as it is air braked only and is therefore limited as to what locomotives can haul the set, this usually been one of Ian Riley's black fives as the K1 is vac only. The morning set is made up of mk1's and is dual braked and steam heat and therefore used all through the Jacobite season with any rostered motive power .
