District Q stock was steel bodied.

Which Q stock are you referring to, there was more than one?

Are you going to write the twenty page essay, or shall I, Colin?

:-)

To Cast_Iron - the story of the Q stock is a long and complex one on
which Colin and I have written extensively in the past in this group
and uk.railway.

Not me in the latter. There are some photos on my web site with a few
historic details of the Q Stock. The only types of Q stock not illustrated
there were the Q35 (M & N) stock. They looked pretty similar to the Q31
(L) stock.

There were a great many variations within the general classification
"Q", some obvious to the layman (Q38 versus the rest), others of
interest to the anoraks like me.
