  1. JB in response, I have followed the Pullman cars that were located at Seaburn from their arrival in the late 1980's on site to their removal two years ago (35mm Colour Slides). I can advise that only the BR Mk1 coach named "CHRISTINE" was scrapped on site due to its condition. As to the three Pullman cars "SAPPHIRE", "ROSALIND" & "PADUA". They left Seaburn by road haulage to Barrow Hill, Chesterfield. Following assessment of each cars condition they were then moved to the East Kent Railway for restoration. I am advised that the long term future for the cars will see them relocated on completion of each restoration to the restored Folkestone Harbour Station as static Restaurants. Coincidentally, I am currently scanning "The Pullman Lodge" Seaburn slides to 'jpg' format.
  2. Looking forward to Pullman service being restored and also hope the transfer problem is resolved.
  3. Further to the use of PEGASUS in a film. This was the 1995 version of 'Richard III' and the sequence that PEGASUS appeared in was filmed at Battersea Power Station.
  4. Hendie, As you are aware I have been following your PEGASUS project with great interest. I note of late questions relating to the cars history. I have been drawing-up a detailed history of the 10 'U' type Pullman cars which were built in two segments, with seven in 1951 and three in 1952. I am more than happy to forward a free 'pdf' copy of history to any member of the group who may be interested. My E-mail address is [email protected] Keep up the good work Hendie, it is indeed a unique project of Pullman Quality.
