The SWC #3 car configuration front to back

[brazzman]

What is the line up front to back of the individual cars on the SWC #3? Are the sleepers in front nearest the engine and the coach cars at the rear? And is it the same every time? What about the SWC #4 configuration? I read that the dinner car separates the two types.

This is the same for #3 and #4. One of those coaches is usually, if not always, a coach/baggage car. They sometimes run a fourth coach (I believe) when it's busy.

At slower times of the year there may be only 2 coaches.

And on #5 and #6, the coaches are at the front (2 at slow times, 3 otherwise), followed by the lounge, diner, and two sleepers. In front of the coaches are loco, loco, baggage, transdorm.
