LSWR, 6 Wheel Coach, 1st Class, 490 – Era 2

This 6 Wheeled Coach is a representation of the many which served on the London and South Western Railway (LSWR) in the late 19th and early 20th century.

Small coaches such as this 6 Wheeled Coach proved especially good at branch line work, where their small size was more acceptable to lower passenger numbers, and enabled the traversing of tight radius curves and hauled by smaller engines.

This LSWR coach is modelled as having step boards to enable access at stations with low platforms and oil lamp lighting.
