Prototype notes:-
Originally 12 were built to diagram H15 in 1907 and remarkably some of these original 12 were still working in mainline express sets in 1961. This amazing long life did rusult in updating over the years and this kit represents the prototype when the large panoramic windows were added from 1936 onwards. These vehicles were always electrically lit but cooking was by gas hence the under slung gas tanks and battery boxes.
