Re: [CBQ] Commercial Post - The Burlington Waycars

I don't suppose it gave the numbers of the coaches?

And whilst you are going through the Reports, could you keep an eye out for a 
"scale test car", please.  In 1901, there was one 
listed in the ORER as 90152 but no indication, of course, of its origins.  
Bulletin 27 identifies early C&S and FW&D scale cars as 
being converted from a coach and a tender but no information about the 
Burlington's one.
