Hornby BR Gresley Corridor Crimson Passenger Brake
E70448E. Gresley’s standard LNER 61ft 6in coaches were solidly built,
and despite being a design inherited from the GNR in 1923 and built
until 1942, many of them lasted in service until 1965, working alongside
BR Mk1 coaches, which they were compatible with. The varnished teak
finish was vulnerable to extremes of weather and required constant
maintenance to stop them from looking tatty with peeled varnish and
cracked panels. Because of this, BR painted the wooden panels crimson
and cream after nationalisation, with all-over crimson for the full
brake vehicles. A total of 38 former LNER teak coaches have been
preserved, including some that have been restored to a varnished teak
finish. Features:
Gauge: OO, Operator: BR, Designer: Gresley, Minimum radius: 2nd, Buffer
Type: Sprung Metal Buffers, Coupling Type: NEM Couplings.
Size (mm): L 255 x H 55 x W 35.
