Prototype and traffic

LNER rail car

One of my favourite pictures showing the livery on Sentinel rail car No 2140 Eagle from a recovered Steam & Sail slide. I don't think that modellers appreciate how widespread rail cars became where the service was on the modest side. For example, on the Leeds Central-Castleford line a railcar served all day, only except for the rush hour when a loco-hauled train was needed.
