Unusually for the LNWR, which generally preferred kitchen-diners, three of these kitchen cars were built to diagram 45 in 1907-08 for use with the “American Special” trains between Euston and Liverpool Riverside. They were 50 feet long and ran on four wheel bogies , like the full brakes built for these trains; other vehicles built for the American Specials were 65ft long and ran on 6 wheel bogies. Matching styles of panelling were used on all vehicles.
