HORNBY R40062A LSWR, 3rd Class, 308-Era 2 Coach, Brown

This four-wheeled coach is a representation of the numerous coaches that served on the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Four-wheeled coaches proved particularly well-suited for branch line work, as their small size enabled them to navigate tight radius curves, while their lower passenger capacity made their diminutive size more acceptable and allowed them to be hauled by smaller engines.

The LSWR coach featured in this model is equipped with step boards to facilitate access at stations with low platforms, and it is outfitted with oil lamp lighting. The model is in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for 00 gauge layouts.

The livery of this coach is that of the LSWR, reflecting the railway's distinctive branding and aesthetic during the pre-grouping era, which spanned from 1870 to 1922. The finish of the model is in a satin sheen, providing a realistic and visually appealing appearance.

This coach serves as a detailed and accurate representation of the railway rolling stock that was essential in the development and operation of the LSWR network during a crucial period in British railway history. Its small size, adaptability, and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any model railway collection or layout seeking to capture the essence of the pre-grouping era.
