Manufacturer description

This six wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the North British Railway (NBR) 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 NBR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and gas lamp lighting.

Hornby NBR 6‑Wheel Coach 414 is a model of a North British Railway first‑class carriage. It is presented in red with a pristine finish and carries the livery of the North British Railway. The coach bears the running number 414 and is manufactured to OO gauge specifications.

The model measures 160 mm in length and is capable of navigating a minimum curve radius of 438 mm (2nd Radius). It has a six‑wheel arrangement, uses NEM/Tension‑lock couplings and requires no power pickup. The part number for this item is R40089. It is designed with step boards for access to low platforms and includes gas‑lamp lighting.

The coach represents a pre‑grouping period vehicle that would have operated on the NBR network in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Small six‑wheel coaches such as this were commonly employed on branch lines, where their compact size allowed them to handle tight curves and serve routes with lower passenger numbers, often being hauled by smaller locomotives.
