Manufacturer description

This 6 Wheeled Coach is a representation of the hundreds which served on the GWR from the Victorian era onwards, proving especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, while lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines.
