Manufacturer description

This Six wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in the late 19th and early 20th century.


Small coaches such as this six wheeled coach 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 LNWR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and oil lamp lighting.

Hornby LNWR 6‑Wheel Coach, 3rd Class, 1523 – Era 2 is an OO‑scale model in a pristine red finish, representing a pre‑grouping London and North Western Railway (LNWR) carriage. The coach measures 160 mm in length, runs on a 2nd‑radius (438 mm) minimum curve, and carries the running number 1523. It is supplied without a power pickup and uses NEM/Tension‑lock couplings.

The model depicts a six‑wheel, third‑class coach designed for branch‑line work, where its compact size allowed it to negotiate tight curves and be hauled by smaller locomotives. It includes step boards for access to low platforms and is modelled with oil‑lamp lighting, reflecting typical LNWR equipment of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
