The GWR trailer coach or autocoach was a coach equipped with a driving cab at one end from which a locomotive could be controlled while pushing the coach. This allowed trains to reverse without the locomotive needing to be uncoupled and run to the other end of the train. These coaches are an ideal partner for the Dapol 14xx class 0-4-2 tank and Bachmann Graham Farish 64xx class 0-6-0 pannier tank engines, both classes being designed for working auto trains.
