Hornby’s TT:120 scale rolling stock range continues to develop with the addition of newly tooled LMS Period III carriages. Depicting the popular 1960s period of British Railways, this range of 57’ carriages is a must for new and seasoned modellers alike. 

Modernising the carriage fleet of the LMS in the 1930s was a similar priority to CME Sir William Stanier as his acclaimed steam locomotive designs, with new, streamlined diagrams of carriages combining wooden framing with steel cladding. The 57 foot ‘Period III’ corridor coaches became the mainstay of LMS passenger trains through to the BR era and could be seen on all types of passenger services far beyond the Midland region.

The Period III Brake Third is included in the all-new Hornby TT:120 57’ range, featuring M5842M in the clean BR lined maroon livery used in the late 1950s and 1960s (era 5). Featuring a highly detailed bodyshell and chassis, the fine tampo printing also including accurate window labels.

The perfect companion to Hornby’s TT:120 LMS Duchess Pacifics, these carriages are also accurate operating on other regions of BR and often mixed with Mk1 carriages produced by Hornby. With two running numbers available, a realistic train for the ‘late crest’ period of BR can be made and the new BR 57’ Brake Third Corridor can easily find a home with any BR era TT:120 model railway.

Product highlights include:

• BR Period III 57’ Brake Third M5842M in BR lined maroon
• Kinematic couplings for reliable running
• Turned metal wheels
• Two running numbers available (TT4034 and TT4034A)

Ideal addition to any late BR (era 5) TT:120 model railway
