Production Details:
Queen Victoria’s aunt, Queen Adelaide, was the
first member of the British Royal Family to travel by train from
Nottingham to Leeds in 1840. In the same year, a carriage for her
exclusive use was constructed by London & Birmingham Railway. The
overall design was based on an 1837 coach that was intended for
first-class passengers. The under frame of ‘Queen Adelaide’s Saloon’ No.
2 was constructed at Euston Works and the body was constructed by a
coach builder based in Gough Street in London. A regal coach suited for
a Queen; this L&BR coach is a perfect replication of the preserved
example. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings.
