Production Details:
Hornby LNER Gresley Corridor Teak Coaches Buffet
21609. This highly detailed Gresley Corridor Buffet Car is presented in
a varnished teak finish with printed decoration including the LNER
branding, the words ‘Buffet Car’ and its unique number 21609. 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. Features:
