Hornby OO Passenger Coaches

The Hornby Railroad Pullman cars match the coaches supplied with Hornby Pullman train sets.
Pullman Parlour cars provided seating accomodation for Pullman passengers. Pullman staff supplied refreshment services to each passenger at their seat from the small pantry area in the car, or from an adjacent kitchen car.

A small number of Pullman brake coaches were constructed to provide accomodation for the guard and a small luggage stowage area on all-Pullman services.

The 'Caledonian Sleeper' franchise was initially handed out as part of the ScotRail franchise which was won by National Express who took over the services operation in 1997. National Express continued to use BR's Mk3 sleeper coaches, hiring locomotives from Virgin Trains until March 1998, and EWS from then on. Mk2 seated carriages were added to the service in 2000 featuring First Class-style reclining seats, while the Mk3 sleeping cars were refurbished.

In 2004 the ScotRail Franchise including the 'Caledonian Sleeper' was transferred to FirstGroup with the Caledonian sleeper rolling stock being repainted in FirstGroup's corporate blue, pink and white livery. In 2014 the 'Caledonian Sleeper' became part of a separate franchise awarded to Serco who invested £100 million in new Mark 5 carriages which were introduced in April 2019, replacing the aging Mk3 stock.

The Mk.3 TGS coach is formed with the guards' van next to the locomotive at the standard class end of HST coach sets. The car contains seating for standard class passengers for most of it's length, with window bay used to create an office for the guard with limited accommodation for luggage and bicycles.

Following the FirstGroup's decision to buyout their partner's shares in Great Western Holdings, a decision was made to rebrand the Great Western Trains HST units to First Great Western (FGW). Visually this change involved the fitting of a new vinyl gold strip and colour fading as well as fitting new FGW logos. This livery was relatively short lived, with FGW introducing a variety of new liveries over the next few years which were more in keeping with the First Group's other corporate liveries.

The Mk2 Coach was introduced to the British Railway in 1964, designed to be stronger and more resistant to corrosion than their predecessors yet also reducing maintenance costs. A revised painting method coincided with a switch from BR maroon and Southern Region dark green to a blue and grey livery.

1876 Mk2 Coaches were produced by BREL at Derby Litchurch Lane Works between 1963 and 1975, with many remaining in service performing departmental work and charter services. Mk2 Coaches were also widely exported and remain in mainline service in New Zealand as of 2020. Coaches and multiple units based upon the Mk2 design have also operated in Ireland, Taiwan and Kenya.

The Hornby Railroad teak liveried LNER coaches match the models supplied with the Flying Scotman train sets.
Brake coaches with luggage space, an office for the guard and compartments for third class passengers were normally located at the ends of the train. Addtional brake coaches were added if the train was divided en-route to provide a direct service to several destinations.

The Mk.3 TSO coaches provide the standard class passenger accommodation on HST trains. Usually 4 TSO coaches make up a full 8-car train formation, if you have the space for a full-length train!

This livery was designed to emulate or copy the advanced yet ultimately fruitless APT project. This livery would largely remain unchanged even after a further rebrand to Intercity Swallow, before the coaches would transfer into private ownership at the end of BR.

These Mk3 coaches include the provision for lighting provided by the R7305 Maglight lighting unit, as well as fully detailed interiors and metal wheels throughout. For the first time, these coaches also include our new Buckeye style magnetic couplings.

The Mk3 coach is perhaps most iconic in its original production livery of the BR Grey and Blue. It is in this livery that the coach, as well as the matching Class 43 units would be introduced, before high speed rail services in the UK would be rebranded into the Intercity Executive livery.
