Prototype Era
Era 4 (1948 to 1956) British Railways Early Crest
Collett's distinctive bow-ended coaches were developed from a pre-production series of 3 lots , being introduced from late 1925 onwards. Originally formed into six coach sets formed from E127, C54 & D94, or E127, C54 & D95 diagrams, later sets were marshalled into eight coach all Third Class rakes comprised of C58 & D104 diagrams.
Due to comfortable and smooth riding, the type lasted well into British Railways' service, the final examples being withdrawn during December 1962 and January 1963.

Hornby BR Collett “Bow‑Ended” Corridor Brake Third (Left Hand), model number W4926W – Era 4, is a 00 gauge model coach in pristine finish. The livery is crimson and cream with a running number of W4926W and a length of 242 mm. It is coloured crimson, designed for a minimum radius of 2, and uses NEM / tension‑lock coupling. The model represents a British Railways brake‑third corridor coach designed by Charles Collett for the Great Western Railway, classified as BTK and mounted on bogies. It carries the manufacturer part number R4686A.
The real coaches were introduced from late 1925 as bow‑ended designs and were initially formed in six‑coach sets using E127, C54 and D94 (or D95) diagrams, later running in eight‑coach all‑Third‑Class rakes of C58 and D104 diagrams. Their comfortable ride meant they remained in service into the British Railways era, with the final examples withdrawn in December 1962 and January 1963.
For further information on Collett’s bow‑ended coaches see Michael Harris, *Great Western Coaches 1890‑1954*.
