Product Info

Following the success of the LNERâ's newly-introduced âCoronationâ' 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 âCoronationâ' with four twin articulated coaches, though not the streamlined beavertail observation car, and named the âWest 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 âA4â' No. 4492 âDominion 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 carriages are in pairs, sharing a bogie between the two. Coaches âAâ' and âBâ' in the eight-coach rake include an open third brake with accommodation for the guard, and a coach with a further third class area plus kitchen. These are the highly detailed OO gauge model coaches shown in this pack.
