Hod Carrier
LMS Railcar 22
I never did mention what I'd discovered on my trip to the British Library.
As feared, there wasn't a lot that was new, although it was still good to find the primary sources cited elsewhere and see them for myself. There were no new insights into the layout of the equipment beneath the floor or much of anything else that would help with modelling the railcar in both it's incarnations. However, I did find that by looking at the original article regarding it's conversion to a maintenance vehicle, the quality of the images were slightly better than the online version reproduced by the LMS Carriage Association.
