Got it
These coaches represent the final era of Caledonian coach design. With a
full ellipical roof and, in the later examples, an angle-trussed underframe
they were in many respects similar to contemporary coaches built by the MR
and LNWR with whom they were soon to merge (with others) to form the London
Midland and Scottish Railway. Built by outside contractors none of this stock
was fitted with vacuum brake when built and so were confined to being hauled
by Westinghouse fitted C.R. locomotives until about 1933 when all were fitted
with vacuum equipment. After this they spread to all parts of the L.M.S. system
in Scotland and were not unknown south of the border.
Examples of all types lasted well into B.R. days but sadly by then the bodywork
had often been marred by repairs using tongue and groove boarding. On a more
happy note an example of each of Diagrams 124 and 111A (CC3 & 8) survive,
preserved by the S.R.P.S. at Bo'ness, Scotland.

A couple of detail shots taken of the example of D111A preserved by the Scottish
Railway Preservation Society at Bo'ness, West Lothian. Note that these shots
date back to c1986 and were taken at an open day at Haymarket Shed, Edinburgh when
(CR)464 was running with its second LMS number despite the livery - this has
now been corrected!

"Wha dare meddle wi' me" - a loose translation of the Scottish motto (nemo me impune lacessit, litterly meaning "no-one provokes me with impunity") which was appropriated along with the Scottish coat of arms (without any sanction from the Lord Lyon, King of Arms) by the Caledonian Railway Co.
