Complete the famous LNER West Riding Limited train formation with Coaches G & H, the final articulated coach pair from this prestigious pre-war express service. Expertly recreated in 1:76 scale OO Gauge, these highly detailed passenger coaches represent the rear section of one of the London and North Eastern Railway's most innovative streamlined train sets.
Introduced in 1937, the West Riding Limited connected London King's Cross with Leeds and Bradford using articulated coach pairs based on the successful Coronation train design. Sharing a common bogie between paired coaches reduced rolling resistance and improved passenger comfort, helping create one of Britain's most advanced express services of the era.
Coaches G and H consisted of an Open Third Class Coach with lavatory facilities and a Third Class Brake Coach providing additional accommodation for the train guard. Finished in the elegant LNER blue livery, these detailed OO Gauge models are ideal for completing a full West Riding Limited train behind an iconic LNER A4 Pacific locomotive.
Suitable for collectors and railway enthusiasts aged 14 and up.
