Product Info
Following the success of the LNERâ's newly-introduced ‘Coronationâ' trains in 1935, a new train was introduced to operate between London Kingâ's Cross and Leeds and Bradford in 1937.
A new set of carriages was built that was identical to the ‘Coronationâ' with four twin articulated coaches, though not the streamlined beavertail observation car, named the ‘West Riding Limitedâ'. Carriages were in pairs, sharing a bogie between the two, thus reducing friction and improving ride quality.
The train first ran on 27th September 1937 and achieved an average speed of 63.3mph (101.9km/h) between Kingâ's Cross and Bradford. It was hauled by Gresley ‘A4â' No. 4492 ‘Dominion of New Zealandâ', which had emerged from Doncaster Works only three months earlier.
Services were suspended for the duration of the Second World War, but were reinstated in 1949. A modern version of the train is still operated by the present-day LNER with a 6.30am departure from Bradford Forster Square station.
The final pair are made up of an open third class coach with lavatory, plus another third class brake coach with alternative accommodation for the trainâ's guard, and these are the highly detailed OO gauge model coaches shown in this pack.
