The characteristic birdcage lookouts over each of the guards compartments give these sets their name and typify standard SE\u0026amp;CR non-corridor coaching stock. With their distinct character, being of pre-grouping origin, these sets were long lived and little modified during their lifetime, so have a wide applicability to modellers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe sets comprised 2nd\/ 3rd class composite Brake Lavatory (later declassified to Brake Lavatory Third), a 1st \/ 2nd (later declassified to 1st\/ 3rd) Lavatory Composite and Brake Third. The Composites were built in batches with two distinct body side variations. The initial order had two wide windows on each side for the saloon, and the later examples had one wide and one narrow window for the saloon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bachmann Branchline","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43089326145641,"sku":"803393054625","price":161.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/auroratrains.com.au\/products\/bachmann-branchline-39-613-se-cr-60ft-birdcage-composite-lavatory-sr-malachite-green","provider":"Aurora Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
