Product Description
Metropolitan Bogie coaches (1898)
All First
With increased demand the Metropolitan Railway introduced new bogie coaches, based on the upgraded Jubilee coaches. With improved fittints they were popular, and it was not long before the Met started the conversion over to electric propulsion,initially with separate locos, then convertung some brake thirds to motor coaches. Some all seconds/thirds were also converted into driving trailers.
Evntually all the brake coaches were either converted into motor coaches(2 variations) or all thirds.
With new trains being introduced their days were numbered and most were ithdrawnin 1920s/30s.
Six coaches were concerted back to steam haulage for 2 pushpull sets to run on the Chesham branch. Theses survive up till 1960 electrification, and 4 are now onhe Bluebell Railway(subsequent restored/converted nback into older style), and one trailer is prserved at LT museum.
