The coaches were connected to the engine by a steam pipe (about 2" diameter). This pipe fed into radiators situated under the seats. With so many leaks throughout the length of the train, it got slowly cooler as you moved away from the engine. Midwinter in the rear coach of a ten coach train could be somewhat chilly!
