The miniature buffet car had a small buffet counter taking up 2 or 3 seating bays in the central portion of the coach. The buffet could supply hot drinks, soft drinks, snaks and pre-packed food items. The cars were used on many secondary services, where passenger demand did not justify the provision of a dedicated restaurant car.
This model is painted in the maroon livery of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
