Hornby BR Collet Coaches Corridor Brake Third LH
4936. Although introduced onto the GWR by Collett from 1925, many of
these modern-for-their-time coaches lasted in service until the 1960s,
with many examples passing into departmental use. Some retained their
chocolate and cream livery after nationalisation of Britain’s railways
in 1948 and others were painted in the new owner’s crimson and cream.
These wooden-framed, but steel-panelled ‘bow-ended’ coaches were also
‘handed’ in a throw-back to the days they were introduced, when coach
sets were marshalled with the compartments to the south (sunny) side and
the corridors alongside London Paddington’s Platform 1 for ease of
loading/unloading. For example, a left-hand brake coach would have its
corridor on the opposite side to a right-hand brake.
