Yeah, in the original books by the Rev. W Audrey they pretty were much as in the
top picture in the link Mark included, with a composite (1st and 3rd class) and
a brake coach (for the Guard (Conducter in US speak)and luggage). When the first
TV series was produced they were changed to four wheelers for no apparent reason
(with no Guards accomodation, definatly against the regulations!) All susequent
appearances of Annie and Clarabel have followed this format.
