Manufacturer description

This six wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the Southern Railway (SR) having been inherited from its predecessors such as the London & South West Railway (LSWR) and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway (SECR).


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 SR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and electric lighting.

Hornby SR 6‑wheel coach, model number R40087, is a OO‑scale (1:76) representation of a Southern Railway brake third‑class carriage, running number 3750. The coach is finished in SR olive green, measures 160 mm in length and is capable of negotiating a minimum 2nd‑radius curve of 438 mm. It features a pristine finish, NEM/tension‑lock couplings, and has no power pickup.

The model reproduces the original six‑wheel design inherited from the London & South Western Railway and the South Eastern and Chatham Railway, typical of branch‑line operation where its compact size allowed use on tight curves and with smaller locomotives. It includes step boards for low‑platform access and electric lighting detail.

The coach is presented in a brake third‑class configuration and represents the era of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). It is supplied without any additional accessories.
