Hornby OO Gauge R4027 GWR Centenary Brake Coach '4576' - Boxed Chocolate & Cream

Add iconic Great Western styling to your model railway layout with this pre-owned Hornby R4027 GWR Centenary Brake Third Coach. This high-detail scale model replicates the historic wide-bodied, high-capacity rolling stock custom-built by the Great Western Railway (GWR) in 1935 to celebrate their centenary year. Finished in the legendary corporate holiday colours of the Western region, it is an essential trailing vehicle for any authentic express rake.

Please Note: While the coach itself is in good operational condition, the original outer cardboard box displays minor age-related shelf wear, light edge scuffs, and typical handling creases. Please study the photographs carefully to satisfy yourself with the exact cosmetic condition of the box and model before purchasing.

The Centenary stock represented the absolute pinnacle of GWR luxury travel, designed with recessed door panels and an expanded width clearance that gave the carriages an incredibly muscular, flush silhouette. Operating primarily on prestige routes like the Cornish Riviera Express, this Brake carriage looks highly prototypical when hauled by premier GWR express steam locomotives. It pairs perfectly with locomotives like the Hornby Castle Class, King Class, Hall Class, or Star Class.
