The luggage rack instead of a seat was down to weight restrictions on the rear axle, same upstairs with the later 2 seat bench types side by side on the 2351-2365 batch. When fully loaded an extra passenger sat at the rear exceeded the rear axle GLW.

The downstairs seat was never there. As part of the PTE's specification, no seat was to go directly on to the gangway or face sidewards. I still have a copy of the spec - i'll post it one day!

I know this seems daft, but could you do a model that looks like this-with bits of engine showing, fire damage etc.[/quote] ...dont know about that !- i suppose if one of my models goes drastically wrong , i would turn it into a scrapper or something , but at the moment i quite like to model them as they should be , clean and in service  ! Heres an engine shot of the 754 model .......  |
