Manufacturer description

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

Hornby OO gauge model of a Southern Railway 4‑wheel passenger brake coach, running number 762. The coach is finished in green livery, measures 135 mm in length and is capable of negotiating a 438 mm minimum radius curve (second radius). It has a pristine finish, no power pickup, and uses NEM/tension‑lock couplings.

The model represents the small four‑wheeled coaches inherited by the SR from the LSWR and SECR, which were commonly employed on branch lines where tight curves and low passenger volumes required a compact vehicle that could be hauled by smaller locomotives. It is fitted with step boards for access at low‑platform stations and features electric lighting.

Period represented: the era of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR). Manufacturer part number R40088.
