Ex GCR railmotor trailer pushpull converted coach

The GCR introduced steam railmotors in 1904. By 1922, their unpopularity led to them being withdrawn, and the coach parts were converted into trailers. By1931 they wre paired with ex LDECR 6 wheel coaches and in 1933 these were replaced with ex London suburban coaches, converted from all 1st class  to composites with a brake compartment replacing one end compartment.

The railmotor trailers were converted into pushpull coaches and used with the same ex London suburban coach conversion as well as a clerestory baggage composite coach.

Ex GCR C13 4-4-2T locos were adapted for pushpull and used with these coaches in South Manchester area up till end of 1950s.
