---|---|
Description | Q23-stock was the name given to modernised ex-G- stock cars. The G-stock was introduced to the District line in 1923. These cars were fitted with hand-operated doors, and were nicknamed 'horse boxes' because of their narrow cabs. In 1938 this stock was modernised so that it could run with the new Q38 stock. The modernised cars had automatic doors and electro- pneumatic brakes. Car 4184 was transferred to London Transport Museum's collection in 1993. |
