Manufacturer description

This six wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) having been inherited form the Great Northern Railway (GNR).


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 LNER coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and oil lamp lighting.

Hornby LNER 6‑wheel brake coach, third class, running number 4589, is an OO‑scale model representing a typical coach inherited from the Great Northern Railway and used by the London and North Eastern Railway during the Big Four era.

The coach is finished in a pristine teak livery with a brown body colour. It measures 160 mm in length, rides on a minimum 2nd radius curve of 438 mm, and is equipped with step boards for low‑platform access and oil‑lamp interior lighting. The model has no power pickup, uses NEM/tension‑lock couplings and includes a brake compartment.

Designed for branch‑line operation, the six‑wheel layout allowed the original coaches to negotiate tight curves and operate with smaller locomotives when passenger numbers were low. The Hornby version carries the manufacturer part number R40083.
