Why this kit matters

The Thompson Brake Second Corridor coach was a practical and versatile design used on many British Railways services. Featuring both passenger accommodation and a brake compartment for parcels and guard duties, these coaches were a common sight on express and regional trains throughout the 1950s and early 1960s. The BR maroon finish makes this coach a perfect match for steam and early diesel-era locomotives.

How to use it

Place the coach on compatible OO gauge track and couple it into your passenger rake behind a suitable steam or diesel locomotive. Use it as a brake coach at the end or within your train consist. No assembly, paint, glue, or special tools are required.

This is a ready-to-run model railway coach. No assembly, paint, or glue is required. It is not a toy.
