Manufacturer description

This four wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the Great Northern Railway (GNR) in the late 19th and early 20th century.


Four wheeled coaches proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines.


This GNR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and gas lighting.

Hornby Great Northern Railway (GNR) 4‑wheel passenger brake coach, running number 836, is modelled in OO gauge. The coach is finished in brown, measures 135 mm in length and is capable of negotiating a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (2nd radius). It carries a pristine finish and is supplied with NEM/tension‑lock couplings.

The model represents a pre‑grouping GNR brake‑baggage coach that would have been used on branch lines in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Its small four‑wheel chassis allowed it to handle tight curves and operate with modest passenger numbers, making it suitable for routes served by smaller locomotives.

The coach is depicted with step boards for boarding from low platforms and is fitted with gas lighting, reflecting the historical equipment of the period. No power pickup is provided, and the manufacturer part number is R40060.
