Why this model matters

This Hornby model represents the many small coaches which survived into British Railway ownership. The prototype was particularly suited to branch line work, with its small size allowing it to traverse tight radius curves and be hauled by smaller engines. The Tool Van also served a practical role by carrying tools required for railway maintenance and repair.

How to use it

Place the model on a suitable 00 gauge layout and incorporate it into an appropriate train formation. The model has a confirmed minimum curve requirement of Radius 2. The supplied accessory pack includes stepboards, and instructions are included. Handle the model with care, as it contains small parts and components with functional sharp points and edges.
