Hornby R40062A LSWR 4 Wheel Coach 3rd Class 308.
This four wheeled coach is a representation of the many which served on the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in the late 19th and early 20th century. Four wheeled coaches 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 LSWR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and oil lamp lighting
This model also features our new Maglight system which allows coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, removing the need for track pick-ups which would increase rolling resistance. It measures 135mm (length) and is decorated in LSWR Brown livery.
