Complete your recreation of one of Britain's most prestigious pre-war express trains with the LNER West Riding Limited Coaches A & B Pack. This highly detailed OO Gauge twin coach set represents the leading articulated coach pair from the famous West Riding Limited service, introduced by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1937.

Built to the same streamlined design principles as the celebrated Coronation train, the West Riding Limited featured articulated coach pairs sharing a common bogie, reducing rolling resistance and improving passenger comfort. Coaches A and B comprised an Open Third Brake coach with accommodation for the guard and a Third Class coach incorporating kitchen facilities, providing essential services for passengers travelling between London King's Cross and Bradford.

Finished in the elegant LNER blue livery, these finely detailed 1:76 scale OO Gauge coaches accurately capture the distinctive appearance and engineering of the original train. Perfect for pairing with an LNER A4 Pacific locomotive such as Dominion of New Zealand, this coach pack is an essential addition for collectors and enthusiasts of classic British railway history.

Suitable for collectors and railway enthusiasts aged 14 and up.

Historical Background

The LNER introduced the West Riding Limited in 1937 following the success of the prestigious Coronation service. Operating between London King's Cross and Bradford, the train featured articulated coach pairs designed to provide a smoother ride and improved efficiency. The inaugural service achieved an impressive average speed of 63.3 mph and was hauled by the famous LNER A4 Pacific locomotive No. 4492 Dominion of New Zealand.

Coaches A and B formed the leading articulated pair within the train, providing passenger accommodation, guard facilities, and onboard catering services. Following wartime suspension, the service resumed in 1949, with the route continuing to be served by modern LNER operations today.
