Hornby say "This charming LB&SCR 6-Wheel 3rd Class Coach No. 612 looks incredible in its London Brighton & South Coast Railway Lined brown livery. The distinctive 6-wheel coach returns with new guises, this time covering operations in the south of England during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Perfect for pairing with the delightful A1/A1X Terriers, these diminutive coaches are based on designs typical of the early steam era and make for a fine addition to your model layout, be it a picturesque branchline, busy station scene or heritage railway!"
