Add To Comparison

GR400A Peco Lynton and Barnstaple Composite Coach number 5 in Lynton & Barnstaple livery.

Based on official L&B drawings the PECO model faithfully represents the 1st/3rd Composite Coach of this popular line in North Devon. Key features to take note of include:

  • Highly detailed mouldings
  • Interior detail and a removable roof for the easy fitting of passengers.
  • Same couplings as the wagons; compatible with most other makes and clip fitted in bogie-mounted NEM pockets.
  • Spare couplings available ref GR-102.
  • Minimum recommended radius is 9 inches (Setrack 1st radius).
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 Most were scrapped, but two survived intact; one is at the NRM in as-withdrawn condition, and the other is in daily service on the Ffestiniog Railway.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.
