Look at this photo and say what is out of the ordinary?There is also a curiosity not seen on other stocks.  EDIT: The curiosity I mention above is the 'house roof' shaped bulge in the standback panel lower left. Any idea what that could be?

Well....
- the wacky seating moquette?
- the armrests?
- the fire extinguisher position?
- the lack of ventilation in the clerestory roof?
- the lack of droplights?

It's one of those TOK! But which? It has not got a clerestory roof as it is not a 'standard' stock. You'll get it eventually no doubt.

This is the interior of the 1935 streamlined stock. All of the above is true, plus the sharp corners of the draughtscreens with double vertical poles. The main difference being none of the windows having opening sections.

And the reason the windows did not have opening sections is that this is the first two-car unit of 1935 stock, which had experimental air conditioning.
I cheated: the same photo is on p. 16 of "The 1938 Tube Stock", with a caption pointing this out.

Those seats look like they've been wrapped up in Christmas paper.  |

It hasn't got any window ventilators, so I think it's the 1933 precursor, which never ran in public service, to the 1935 experimental streamlined stock. It may also be one of the first instances of shovel-shaped lamps. Russ |

The 1933 precursor was a converted standard stock control trailer car.

Not wishing to 'nit pick' - but does this image not fall foul of the "please don't post large images" request??

Now to clarify things. Firstly SidneyNick is correct about the stock and oddity as the publication he mentions is where I got the pic from.
Secondly the image does infringe the 'too large' rule but I DO reduced the images before I upload them. It's photobucket that enlarges them again. If I post the LINK the pictures stay the same size as reduced. If I post the TAG or IMG then the picture itself appears on the post at at the enlarged size.

Four 6 car trains of 1935 ts were delivered, but the final one came with flat ends similar to the 38 ts.

They ended up on the Ongar shuttle from '57 till the late 60's.The streamlined units were either given flat end cabs or converted to trailers.
