Dapol LHT7P-001-302U Lionheart BR Mk1 SR Green CK Unnumbered
The British Railways Mark 1 passenger coach was designed and constructed in the early 1950s and were designed to standardise rolling stock across the four major railway companies (GWR, SR, LMS and LNER) whilst keeping the characteristics of the dedicated regions. The coaches were fitted with overhead luggage racks and both electric and steam heating for additional passenger comfort. The MK1s were built in many different designs which incorporated different features such as toilets, kitchens, brake compartments, and dedicated restaurant compartments.
These designs were extremely popular and successful and many were still in service in the mid 1960s. There are many examples of Period III coaches operating on Heritage Railways throughout the UK today.
