Hi,
IF you can find the following books 'Historic Carriage Drawings' by Nick Campling (ISBN 1-899816-04-6) or LNER Coaches by Michael Harris (don't know ISBN), those are all about LNER coaches. The first one also has some of the coach drawings of the previous companies that made up the LNER, the second is mainly photos, with a few darwings..
The Buffett cars were built in 1933, to dia 167. Buffett cars were for the non restraunt cars trains not with restraunt cars ; they were also very vried in their components and there were two triplet sets (built 1924 to 1928) for prestige trains.
Thompson coaches were all steel and painted to resemble 'teak'. Full brakes (luggage/parcel vans ) were still (built during the war) of wood however.
Pullman in hte UK was a extra fare (over 1st class) train that could include some 3rd class Pullman coaches examples are the Queen Of Scots or the Yorkshire Pullman, as Tac says all pullman only
The Coronation, and the West Riding were streamline trains that were (I believe) extra fare BUT not Pullman.
The LNER used Garter Blue, Green, and silver (& in the war (generally filthy) black!)for the A4's. Then BR used blue (as the above photo) and brunswick green for them. Tte side valances over the driving wheels had by now been removed- this was done during the war to ease maintainance.
There was also a set of 'Tourist' coaches in green and cream jus for info! Used for holiday traffic and special excursions.
North Norfolk Railway has some photo of LNER coaches web link is as follows http://www.nnrailway.co.uk/carriages.php; also there are a few on the North York Moors website but not much; thast is at
