In 1952, ARIES became the last Pullman Car to be built at the Pullman Car Company’s own works at Preston Park, Brighton. The Cars were noticeably different from earlier Pullman Cars, having less marquetry, plainer veneers and a greater use of mirrored panels. Aries Interior 1 274x210Lighting was somewhat different too, with wall, ceiling & luggage fittings being of a more stylish design. Externally, flush panelling & rectangular toilet windows gave the Cars a cleaner appearance. This series of ten Cars were amongst the first railway vehicles to have double glazing and it was no coincidence that a Director of Pilkington Glass was also a Director of The Pullman Car Co! The Cars were also amongst the first to use bottled Calor gas for cooking, which was not only was more convenient than the previous coal, but safer and cheaper. Cost was always an important factor to the Pullman Car Company.
