The Devon Belle Pullman commenced in 1947 and operated during the summer months for 7 years
with the final train running at the end of the 1954 summer carrying holiday makers to the
west coast of England.

There were two rakes of specially prepared Devon Belle Pullmans
commissioned each with their own Observation Car at the rear of the train. The Observation
Cars were converted from old Third Class cars and were fitted with a refreshment buffet as
well as a small pantry and kitchen. The fitted seats were were either double settees or
swivelling single armchairs and with an almost uninterrupted view all around due to a
virtual continuous wall of window glass they proved to be very popular with the
holidaymakers who could sit and while enjoying some light refreshments see the countryside
recede behind them! This train pack is an excellent representation of the luxuriously
splendid Devon Belle Pullman service which can be enhanced still further with the addition
of the Pullmans included in the Devon Belle Car pack. Locomotive is a West Country Class in
pristine BR livery and coaches have working table lamps (when train is in motion).
