The Hornby Great Western Railway (GWR) Collett 57‑foot Bow‑ended E131 nine‑compartment composite coach (right‑hand side) is modelled in OO gauge. It measures 242 mm in length and is finished in a pristine chocolate and cream “shirt‑button” livery. The coach carries the running number 6627 and is supplied with NEM couplings featuring a tension‑lock system.

Designed by Charles Collett for the GWR, the model represents a C‑type (composite) coach built by the Great Western Railway between 1927 and 1929. It rides on bogie wheels and is capable of negotiating a minimum curve radius of 2 units. The manufacturer part number is R4875A and the model depicts the Big Four era (GWR, LNER, LMS and SR).

The coach is aimed at collectors and layout enthusiasts seeking a historically accurate representation of a period GWR passenger carriage, with colour specification listed simply as chocolate and a finish described as pristine.
