Can any one tell me the sizes of the LNER Gresley coaches. I know that they were 61' 6" and I think that they were 9' 3" but I am not 100% sure on this size. Also how high was the coach I again think that they were about 8'.

Looking at the drawings for a TTO the height from the rail to top of torpedo vent is 12'-10" (8'-6 1/4" over body). 61'-6" does not include the pullman gangways or buffers. Width is generally 9'-3" over door handles and 9'-0" over mouldings.
Some coaches, notably sleepers and restaurant cars had recessed doors and were 9'-3" over mouldings.
Hope this helps
