LNER Great Eastern Formations in the 1930s?

[duffster13@gma]

Morning all, I am modeling the LNER in the Great Eastern region in the mid to late 30s and have been struggling to find info on typical train formations and stock for both passenger and freight. Any help would be great thanks.

Anything in particular? I have a book that has LNER train formations and should be able to get some carriage working books for that period as well.

A specific year and line/area would help

It would be the GE mainline and regional services. I have the book about Principal Services but that only really has Eastern Belle and Boat trains. years would be 36-39

These people may be able to help. The depth of knowledge in the society is astonishing.

Unfortunately the GE doesn't seem to be well covered, there are only scans of 1931 and 1935 carriage working books then nothing until British Rail Eastern Region 1951.

If you look at the closed stations website, you will find some photos of passenger or freight trains (in addition to photos of station buildings). Some of these included pre-WW2 photos. Apart from the age & livery of coaches, formations probably did not change much until lines closed, or dmus replaced steam.
For example, Yarmouth South Town

Disused Stations: Yarmouth South Town Station

and Cromer High

Disused Stations: Station

Swaffham

Disused Stations:Swaffham Station
