Designed for use on OO gauge model railways, it features a detailed and accurate representation of a Midland Railway coach. The model includes a number of authentic features, such as clerestory roofs and gas lighting, as well as a full complement of internal and external details.

Additionally, an optional 'vacuum pipe' close coupling bar is provided, allowing modellers to create a more authentic representation of the vacuum braking system used in the era.

The Non-Corridor Third No.2440 is a welcome addition to this range, and is sure to appeal to anyone looking to recreate a classic Midland Railway train on their model railway layout.
