Product Code: R40454
Production Details:
Hornby LNER Gresley Corridor Teak Coaches Brake 3rd
21437. This highly detailed Gresley Corridor third-class Brake coach is
presented in a varnished teak finish with printed decoration including
the LNER branding, numbers ‘3’ and ‘1’ on the doors to mark the class of
the compartment and its unique number 21437. The model has detail
underneath and metal wheels for finer running. Hornby’s Gresley 61ft 6in
coaching stock represents a standard design that Nigel Gresley continued
from his days as CME at the Great Northern Railway, through to the LNER
at the Grouping in 1923, with very little change to the basic layout of
each vehicle. Finished in varnished teak, these LNER standard
vehicles were ahead of their time, with Pullman-type gangways and
buckeye couplings, that would later become standard on BR-built coaching
stock. However, the wooden teak-panelled bodies were more traditional
than modern, with square mouldings and windows. The company continued to
build them until 1942 with little change over the 1923-42 build period.
The coaches were mounted on Gresley double-bolster 8ft 6in bogies.
