Hornby GWR Collet Coaches Corridor Composite RH
6522. Charles B. Collett developed a new range of standard coaches from
1922 to coincide with the reintroduction of the chocolate and cream
livery onto the company’s network. These covered a wide variety of
types, but the most common type introduced between 1925 and 1929 was the
‘bow-ended’ corridor coach, of which several hundred were built at
Swindon. The idea of the ‘bow ends’ was to reduce the length of the
corridor connections between carriages following complaints from nervous
passengers about walking across them when the train was travelling at
speed. They went on to form the backbone of main line sets for 20 years.
