Prototype Era
Era 4 (1948 to 1956) British Railways Early Crest

Manufacturer description

This four-wheeled coach is a representation of the many small coaches which survived into British Railway ownership.


Small coaches such as this four-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 BR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and electric lighting.

It is assembled as a British Railways 4‑wheel brake baggage coach designed by BR and intended for use with NEM or tension‑lock couplings. The model has no power pickup.

The coach is finished in a pristine crimson livery and painted red. It measures 135 mm in length and is capable of negotiating a minimum radius curve of the second radius (438 mm). The model includes step boards to allow access at stations with low platforms and features electric lighting.

This model represents the small four‑wheel coaches that remained in service after the formation of British Railways. Such coaches were commonly employed on branch lines where their compact size permitted operation on tight curves and where lower passenger numbers made the reduced capacity acceptable, allowing them to be hauled by smaller locomotives.
