Default C8a hu a

The C8A bodies were unique in that they were built on the line at Oshawa, using bodies made by the 'Fisher' body plant there. These would have then been shipped to the UK and 'assembled' here. That would have meant fitting wheels and tyres on, etc. depending on the degree of packing.

As these were British contracts, the work would have been done by for example Pearsons of Liverpool.
