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 S&DJR Lined Blue livery
• Running No. 42
• NEM Coupling Pockets
• Length 236mm (over couplings)

Prototype information

EFE Rail 54ft non‑Corridor Third S&DJR Lined Blue is an OO‑scale model (part number E86036) representing a pre‑grouping period coaching stock. The coach is based on the company’s Isle of Wight prototypes, which were originally rebuilt from former London, Brighton & South Coast Railway vehicles, and it carries a running number 42 in a pristine S&DJR Lined Blue livery.

The model measures 236 mm over the couplings and features a high‑fidelity injection‑moulded bodyshell. Detail work includes individually fitted ornate metal handrails, etched metal end steps, emergency brake gear, authentic truss rods, separate battery boxes and Westinghouse brake components.

Metal wheelsets are fitted throughout, and NEM coupling pockets are mounted on close‑coupling mechanisms on the chassis, allowing close coupling while still negotiating second‑radius curves. The coach is a non‑corridor bogie type, designed to provide an authentic representation of Victorian passenger operations for pre‑Grouping railway companies.
