BRBritish Rail or British Railways Restaurant Miniature Buffet 1856

BRBritish Rail or British Railways Mark 1 Restaurant Miniature Buffet (RMB) 1856 was built at Wolverton in 1961 to diagram number 99 of lot number 30670. The Miniature Buffet coach was designed to provide quick snacks, being staffed by only one attendant in service. The coach seats 44 passengers at tables, and also has bench seats opposite the serving area. 1856 is fitted with Commonwealth Bogies which enabled running at 100mph, and was also briefly fitted with a payphone while in service.
