Hornby R40074 LNWR 6 Wheel 3rd Class Coach NO.1523

This Six wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the London and North Western Railway (LNWR) in the late 19th and early 20th century. Small coaches such as this six wheeled coach proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines. This LNWR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and oil lamp lighting.
