The big four railway companies operated their internal trains with their own coaches, presenting a unified image. There was variety under the surface however and many trains crossed the boundaries, being passed on to another company with just a change of engine. Through trains linked major cities, with the participating companies providing coaches or trains in proportion to the milage run on their tracks. Many connections were provided by through coaches, some trains were even formed entirely of portions from/to the other railway companies.

Hornby OO GWR Suburban Brake Composite B-Set Coach (R4319B)

Expected 1st quarter 2008

A staple of any Great Western layout the 2-coach B set trains were used on branchline and local train services across the GWR network.

Formed with two of these brake composite coaches coupled with the guards' van at the outer ends the normal motive power was a small tank engine. Those modelling the Swindon and Bristol areas could find any engine, even the Kings making test runs with a B set on local services!

Another differently numbered coach R4319A is also available.

Livery: GWR Chocolate & Cream Period: Mid 1930s to 1940s Length: 242mm Finish: Pristine
