LNER Gresley Tourist Open Third (TTO) No 24105 was built 1936 by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and
Wagon Company (BRCW). It seated 64 passengers in one large saloon, with an entrance vestibule at each end and two toilets at one end. Officially these carriages were meant for excursion work, but most of them seem to have quickly gravitated into general passenger service. In the early 1960s the carriage was modified to act as the control and apparatus car in a mobile control train for use in the event of war and was based at York with [[LNER 43600Open Third]]. The modification included the blanking out of many windows and the fitting of double doors to one side.
