5132 is a BR Mk 2 Tourist Second Open (TSO) coach which was built at Derby Works in March 1966, with an initial allocation to the Midland region.
The coach is an example of the first type of BR Mk2 coach to be built (also known as BR MK2z) and is fitted with B4 bogies and a passenger door in the centre of the bodyside, which later versions did not have.
In January 1975 M5132 was reallocated to the Scottish Region and it became SC5132.
By 1989 SC5132 had been fitted with public address equipment and allocated to North Scotland at Inverness TMD.
Whilst allocated to Inverness a repaint into a LNER style green & cream livery, with the name “Clan Munro” was undertaken.
As part of the privatisation process the coach became an asset of Eversholt Train Leasing prior to storage and later withdrawal in June 1999.
