Hornby BR Maunsell Brake Third class S3752 Set
222. When the Southern Railway was formed in 1923, it continued to build
coach designs inherited from the main three constituent companies.
Richard Maunsell introduced the SR’s first ‘standard’ coaches, building
over 1,200 of them. These were formed into 139 sets, as it was the SR’s
practice to keep coaches together for long periods of time, with a set
number at each end. These coaches are the later 59ft type built from
1934 with flush sides, constructed with steel panels over a wooden
framework. They were painted olive green in early SR days and, from
1939, in Bulleid’s malachite green, before most received the standard BR
crimson and cream following nationalisation from 1949.
