B-Set coaches were introduced in the Mid-1920s and were intended to be used in fixed pairs, typically on branch line passenger services. The coaches were fitted with modern electric lighting but had traditional compartments that passsengers at the time tended to prefer. Another noticeable feature of the coach design was the large number of doors which aided the efficient boarding and disembarkation of the train at busy times.
