I'm working on a short story and it takes place on a corridor carriage (think that's the correct term, carriage with separate compartments with a corridor down the side joining them) in 1930s England.
I've been googling some images of old carriages to understand the layout and look, but for my story to work there can't be any windows on the side between the compartment and corridor. I've seen in some images the two windows either side of the door can sometimes have pull down blinds, but it seems like the window of the door is always exposed.
Was it possible to have no windows in the wall or doors much like a sleeper compartment? Or could you sometimes have a blind on the door window?
Any help or even images would be very helpful.
