Hornby OO Gauge IoW CR, 4 Wheel Coach, Brake Third - Era 2 R40416

This four-wheeled coach is a representation of the many coaches which served on the Isle of Wight Central Railway in the 19th and 20th centuries. Four-wheeled coaches proved especially good at branch line work where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, whilst lower passenger numbers meant their small size was more acceptable and enabled trains to be hauled by smaller engines.

This brake third coach is modelled with step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and gas lighting. This model is compatible with our new Maglight system which allows coach lights to be turned on and off using a magnetic wand, removing the need for track pick-ups which increase rolling resistance. This coach features a teak-wood panelling livery.
