These, like the R stock were delivered with beamless shoe gear. The R stock started to receive conventional shoe beams in the early 1960s. Did the 49ts UNDM receive shoes beams, and if so, when? Cheers Metman  |

I assume by 1949 Stock you mean the 1938 Stock extra order?

According to Piers Connors excellent 'The 1938 Tube Stock' the beamless shoegear was replaced in 1960-61.

The door top was flat not rounded, and a self latching mechinism replaced the leather strap on the door.
