Manufacturer description

The EFE Rail 54ft non-Corridor Bogie Coaches are based on the brand’s highly acclaimed Isle of Wight Coaching stock – the prototypes for which were rebuilt from former London, Brighton & South Coast Railway vehicles before their move to the island. With no authentic coaching stock available to depict passenger operations of many of the Victorian railway companies, these EFE models give a true feel of train travel from yesteryear and come finished in authentic liveries for some of the pre-Grouping companies that have so far been uncatered for when it comes to ready to run coaching stock.

Each model is produced using a high fidelity injection moulded bodyshell adorned with extra details, like the ornate metal handrails that are each separately fitted, the etched metal end steps and the emergency brake gear. Beneath each coach the truss rods have been authentically modelled alongside separate battery boxes, the Westinghouse brake components complete the look. Metal wheelsets are used throughout whilst the NEM coupling pockets are mounted on close-coupling mechanisms fitted to the coach chassis, providing close coupling whilst still allowing the models to negotiate second radius curves.

 

MODEL FEATURES:

• EFE Rail OO Scale
• Era 2
• Pristine LBSCR Raw Umber livery
• Running No. 4935
• NEM Coupling Pockets
• Length 236mm (over couplings)

Model details

Prototype information

EFE Rail 54ft non‑Corridor Brake Third LBSCR Raw Umber (Manufacturer Part Number E86025) is a ready‑to‑run OO‑scale model representing a pre‑grouping railway coach. The model depicts a 54‑foot non‑corridor third‑class brake carriage in the raw umber livery of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway, carrying the running number 4935.

The coach is based on the design of the brand’s Isle of Wight coaching stock, which were originally rebuilt from former LB&SCR vehicles before being transferred to the island. It provides a historically accurate representation of Victorian passenger stock for railway companies that lack authentic ready‑to‑run coaching models.

Key features include a high‑fidelity injection‑moulded bodyshell with separately fitted ornamental metal handrails, etched metal end steps and emergency brake gear, and authentic truss rods and battery boxes beneath the chassis. The model uses metal wheelsets and Westinghouse brake components, and is fitted with NEM coupling pockets on close‑coupling mechanisms that allow operation on second‑radius curves. The overall length, measured over couplings, is 236 mm.
