Peco GR-421B Brake Composite Coach SR Livery (No. 6993) OO-9 Gauge

Peco GR-421B Lynton & Barnstaple Railway brake composite coach 6993 in Southern Railway green livery.

This model of the L&B enclosed brake composite coach with compartments for 1st and 3rd class plus guards office and luggage van faithfully recreates coach 6993 of the Southern Railway in green livery. In winter these coaches could provide all the passenger accomodation required and often goods traffic would be attached to the passenger trains to avoid steaming another engine for a separate goods train.

Modelled from official drawings, contempary notes and photographs, although at first glance the coach appears to be quite plain, close inspection reveals a wealth of subtle detail in the painting and printing.

The Lynton and Barnstaple Railway ordered 16 passenger carriages from the Bristol Wagon and Carriage Works Co. The vehicles delivered were among the largest and best equiped narrow gauge coaches running in Britain and, of substantial construction, stood up well to service across the North Devon moors. All joined the Southern Railway stock in 1923 and received a coat of Maunsell olive green, which they retained until the closure of the L&B in 1935.

Historical background

The Lynton and Barnstaple railway originally had 16 passenger carriages built in 1897 by the Bristol Wagon and Carriage Works Co. and added a 17th themselves in 1911. They were all substantially built, sharing a similar outward appearance and many common parts. Passenger comfort was high up on their specification. The original L&BR coach livery was terracotta with salmon upper panels. A few years later this was replaced by Indian red and white. Upon the Southern Railway?s takeover of the line in 1923 all coaches were renumbered into the SR scheme and received a coat of Maunsell olive green, which they retained until the closure of the L&B in 1935. Most were scrapped, but two survived intact; one is at the NRM in as-withdrawn condition, and the other is in daily service on the Ffestiniog Railway. The reformed Lynton and Barnstaple railway have recreated a further two (so far) using many original parts. Numbers 5 and 6 (or SR 6364 and 6365 respectively) are the basis of our first release. These were the only pure composite coaches on the line, catering for both Third and First class passengers.
