Manufacturer description
By 1934, the Southern Railway recognised that the short ex-LSWR stock was in need of some major attention as it was nearing the end of its working life. Much of it was built on wooden underframes, whilst some was still gas lit and so a program of refurbishment was proposed and undertaken under Works Order (HOO No.) L801 of March 1934 and Works Order (HOO No.) L852A of March 1935.

Hornby SR 58' Maunsell Rebuilt (Ex-LSWR 48'), Six Compartment Brake Third, 2628 – Era 3 is a model railway coach in OO gauge. It is painted in SR Green livery, measures 2,460 mm in length and carries the running number 2628. The coach is fitted with NEM couplings and is classified as a Brake Third (BT). It represents a London & South Western Railway 48' coach designed by Richard Maunsell and produced under the manufacturer part number R4793. The model depicts the period of the Big Four railway companies (LNER, LMS, GWR and SR).

By March 1934 the Southern Railway had identified that the short ex-LSWR stock, much of it on wooden underframes and some still gas‑lit, was nearing the end of its working life. A refurbishment programme was therefore launched under Works Order (HOO No.) L801 of March 1934 and further under Works Order (HOO No.) L852A of March 1935. The model reflects the rebuilt condition of these coaches following that programme.
