HORNBY BR Crimson 1st Class Coach with Lights

This six-wheeled coach, a representation of the many small coaches that endured into British Railway ownership, is particularly well-suited for branch line work. Its small size allowed it to navigate tight radius curves with ease, while its lower passenger capacity made its diminutive dimensions more acceptable. As a result, these coaches could be hauled by smaller engines, a practical advantage.

The BR coach featured here is modelled with step boards, enabling access at stations with low platforms. Additionally, it boasts our innovative Maglight system, which allows the coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, eliminating the need for track pick-ups that would have increased rolling resistance.

Specifications: Scale: 1:76 (00 Gauge) Livery: BR Finish: Satin Era: 4 (Early British Railways 1948-1956)

This six-wheeled coach's design and features make it an efficient and versatile option for branch line operations. Its small size and the inclusion of step boards and the Maglight system ensure that it can be seamlessly integrated into various railway settings, providing a practical and visually appealing solution for enthusiasts and modellers alike.
