Hornby OO LNER, Coronation Brake Third & Kitchen Third Articulated Coach Pack – Era 3

Named to mark the coronation of King George VI, ‘The Coronation’ was for a time the LNER’s flagship express passenger service. The train ran between London and Edinburgh in as little time as 6 hours. The service was formed by a rake of four pairs of specially designed streamlined coaches with the addition of a streamlined observation car other than in the winter, when the short period of daylight precluded the views. One service was run in each direction each day, the down service departing London for Edinburgh at 16:00pm, and the up service leaving Edinburgh at 16:30pm. Services were usually pulled by an A4 class locomotive, commonly liveried to match the rest of the train.
