The Hornby four and six wheel coaches are ideal for those who wish to operate a branch line, this wide selection of coaching stock boasts many features including authentic liveries, precision and detailed livery application, fitted and painted interiors, running boards for consumer application if desired, separately fitted chassis elements, characteristic wheel profiles, metal buffers, plus NEM couplings.
These models also feature variations that include our new Maglight system. The Maglight Lighting Unit system is a new development from Hornby that provides lighting in coaches with minimum fuss and no excessive drag. Power is provided on board the coach and not by a tension pick up on the axle. The Maglight Lighting Unit system consists of an LCD strip, small button battery and a reed switch.

Love the black/orange 4 wheeled coaches plan on getting a few for my line

Chocolate and Salmon or LSWR livery.

[@andrewshearsby8125]

@@mattlander9119 according too the 2021 catalogue L&SWR livery black and orange

[@ThatModelRailwayGuy]

Love these! I've got a few of the LNER teak versions myself which I did a couple of videos on, but seeing all the different options makes me want to get some of the other liveries too. I reckon they'll be great to have on a compact branchline layout 😃

The NBR ones are so nice. Need those and LNWR stock

[@richardswiderski4985]

Lovely coaches and the mag lite is very clever.Great job Hornby.

[@AgenoriaModelTrains]

I really like these coaches! I've got two in LNWR livery, I am quite fond of the plum and cream livery. I also have another one in LSWR salmon and brown livery and one other in GWR Chocolate and Cream! They are ideal for small branch line style layouts with mine and with tight curves too.

[@joshslater2426]

I’ve bought some in LSWR, GNR and LNWR liveries and I adore them. They’re simple but still very well detailed and nice looking. Currently I’m aiming to buy some NBR ones too.

[@thethomasfan903]

The black ones are my favorite instant buy from me!

Great video Mike. Nice music too.

[@kellogskell9453]

such a missed oppertunity for caledonian coaches, these and the genisis from hattons, both really good though. ill have to wait for batch 3 from hattons for caledonian ones

[@TallboyDave]

True enough, but Hornby are doing the NBR, which Hattons weren't, so there's not 100% overlap.

[@simonsteel7289]

According to the Hattons Genesis coach page, Caledonian coaches are a potential to be a part of that range.

[@richardlee653]

They will be a boon to people who want to have a layout in a small space. A Terrier (or similar sized tank locomotive) plus a few appropriate coaches would look like a reasonable sized train in a small space, ideally in a nice, pre-grouping livery. The Maglight system sounds interesting, although I don't tend to imagine pre-grouping trains having very bright light. There is a similar system on the market, but that is activated by vibrations. (The light goes off after a couple of minutes of non-movement). The Maglite system sounds a better bet to me because I found that every time a lorry went past outside, the lights would come one, draining the batteries.

[@AidansRailways]

Hi Hornby, when will you be shipping out the pre orders of these lovely coaches? 👋

[@HornbyModelRailways]

Hi Aidan, we are pleased to say a lot have arrived already, with the remaining arriving in the coming months. Do contact our Customer Services Team who will be able to check in on your order - [e-mail] as they will have more details for you. Thanks for watching!

Hi, Hornby hopes you range do well. But one question want having if want to make 6 wheel coaches down to me bigger 4 wheels now easy to take out the center wheelset on a 6 wheel coach and removable it on the Hornby? Would be nice if the coaches have the choice to light or not light like the Hatton. Where in the model did you not fix the luggage rails with the coaches. I do like the look of LNWR think of getting some but wait for the Oxford Rail 2021 future announcements. But do like the Hatton too as I order the NCB blue want will go great with your NCB brake van Hornby can't wait for your NCB brake van to come out. But the Hatton I like are (LNWR batch 1 ) (L&Y brown & umber , Midland Railway crimson lake Batch 2) (Metropolitan Railway, SDJR Batch 3) But keep safe Hornby in these hard times. In the video love the look of the LNWR, NBR. I would get the NBR if we could take out the center wheelset on a 6 wheel coaches Hornby. But keep safe in these hard times Hornby.

[@bendavis6121]

​@@PeggyDez yes but would only get some with light and not light. But with the Hatton, one everyone would get with light or no light want really good. But keep safe ​PegasusDesigns and JBM in these hard times. But hope the Hornby range does well But I will be sticking with the Hatton one.

[@robloxdude7564]

Could you do a railroad version like a longer 4 wheel coach for the budget side of model railways for about 15 pounds a coach with minimal detail?

[@nintendofanlp]

Shouldn't the rear of the LB&SCR brake coach be red, and the overall color of the coach just a tad darker? It looks correct in the stock photos, but not here. But someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@cdyvids22]

I'm glad that I don't need to use the older 4 wheeled coaches, these ones are longer and importantly not to high up

[@garylewis3815]

Will be the GWR coaches that get my vote..👍😃

[@matthew_thefallen]

I do love GWR, but all of them are nice!

[@dialwright]

I'm disappointed that the L&NWR livery appears to be on only one of the four-wheelers, all the others seem to be six-wheelers. Why would that be?

[@michaelgoodliffe4795]

How about Great Northern, to go with the Stirling 8foot single?

[@TallboyDave]

They are doing Great Northern Railway- it's just the GNR used varnished teak as the colouring of its' coaching stock, which the LNER also adopted for passenger stock- though as the older coaches got more tired and tatty, they were cascaded down to secondary and branch-line work, and repainted in a plain brown.

[@michaelgoodliffe4795]

@@TallboyDave Thank you for that information, at one stage they were talking about introducing Howlden stock to go with it,but I don't know what happened to that.

[@TallboyDave]

@@michaelgoodliffe4795 They were? I hope that's true; having some of those in LNER colours would be useful to have as cascaded stock for my ex-Great Eastern area layout.

Hi nice vid!

[@HornbyModelRailways]

Thanks for watching, we're glad you enjoyed the video 😀

[@archsixx2845]

So when you ripped off hattons how did it feel? Shame yours don't look as good :)

[@bendavis6121]

The coaches are not the same design I think there are based on the Stroudly design. But Hornby did rush to get them done Archie. Because there see how popular the Hatton one was and there copy them. As for the details, the end does not have much, and the same for the underframe details. Plus if Hornby going to have in light should make the inside has luggage rails and fix step board too model. Even the Stroudly design would have luggage rails inside. With the Hatton one, you get luggage rails and step board fix but if you don't like the step board fix who can remove them easily. With the Hatton who can put Luggage in plus, you can put passengers in it will look amazing at night. I did ask my family wants they think about the Hornby one and don't like them because the handrail wants people to used to open the door do not look right. The only one wants I would like is the LNWR as there would go well with the Hatton one. Plus the Hatton's one will be the best on details look a lot better than the Hornby. If you want to have light in some of the coaches you can not as the Brake, Baggage does not have light but doesn't worry it cost £27 plus Hornby R7338 Maglight for 4/6 Wheeled Coaches for £11 now it the same price as the Hatton one and who only get 200 hours of light. And I have look at the Hornby catalogue it like with the LNER coaches would only get 4 different coaches with a running number that it. look at the Hatton every coach has the choice to have light or not light want give the customer a better choice and you get around 6 LNER coaches with light or not light. I hope you enjoy the Hatton one Archie.T want one do you like or getting? As I got I order on (NCB Blue) if I don't get wow by the Oxford Rail 2021 future announcements. I will be looking at (Batch 1 LNWR livery) (Batch 2 L&Y brown & umber, NCB blue) (Batch 3 Metropolitan Railway, SDJR) But I think the Hatton's are the best so I will be sticking with the Hattons one. But keep safe Archie.T in these hard times.

[@jibbsey]

At least Hornby have stock! I had 9 GWR Hatton's ones on pre order for 3yrs and was excited to hear the stock finally arrived only to have my entire order cancelled saying they didn't have enough stock 🤬 so I decided to get the Hornby ones after all and have both the first set of five 4 wheelers in the very early livery and now also the later release of the four set/rake of three 6 wheel and one 4 wheel with the Garter Crest, absolutely love them and they are actually really well made and great detail, so poo to Hatton's and look where they ended up! 😂

[@jankochanowski3252]

Why the Hornby southern coaches are only 6 wheelers and no 4 wheelers?

[@HornbyModelRailways]

Hi Jan, although the majority of our SR liveried coaches are 6 wheelers, we do have a 4 wheel Brake Baggage available in SR livery: uk.hornby.com/products/dia1529-cattle-wagon-british-railways-553904-era-4-r40088

[@johne5854]

They look great. On another point will you be producing the new class 93 from Stadler for Rail Operations (Uk) Ltd.

@@johne5854 yeah, I saw that too. I find it a bit weird that I've also seen another design for it, one based on an class 88 and in ROG Blue so it's a bit confusing

@@kingorry7223 You're probably right about the old 68/88 design since it is being built in the Valencia factory. The continental version would be a great new design for our railways.

[@Taggart00]

I have seen a few videos of these and I am a little disappointed to see the large gap between the axlebox and the wheels on the 6 wheel coaches which I guess is to allow them to go around tight curves, which I guess is why you showed the coaches off on the curve to minimise the gap.

[@bentullett6068]

It looks like they have been built to beat Hattons Genesis coaches to the market. The Hattons ones look good as a few reviewers like Sam's trains and Jenny Kirk have already shown the grey engineering samples and the detail looks better than on these coaches.

[@bendavis6121]

@@bendavis6121 quite agree on that. As you know I have the GWR Genesis set of 4 coaches on order from Hattons. They do look better and they have kept customers in the loop on the production of their coaches. Don't get me wrong these hornby versions are good but but just seem to be designed to go behind the terriers as they are based on a Stroudly design.

[@bendavis6121]

​@@bentullett6068 I hope you enjoy the GWR Genesis set of 4 coaches on order from Hattons. The Hornby is only bassed Stroudly design and I know Hatton are coaches are not 100% real but at least there want based the design on a lot of different coaches want was build in the early days and went to look at the real 4 and 6 wheels coach you can see now. Plus look at a lot of photos. At least, who gets Luggage rails even the Stroudly design would have Luggage rails inside plus if Hornby wants to put light in should who would think to make the inside the best.

No L&Y livery???

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

The Chocolate & Cream Genesis coaches are my favourites. I like the 4-wheeled ones more than the 6-wheelers

[@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller]

Serious question. Why buy these and not the ones from Roxley Mouldings? Theirs are accurate to each prototype and well priced. Yes, these are pre built but being generic means irrespective of what livery it's got, the model is going to be wrong.

[@richardlee653]

Depends how good a painter you are. I made some resin Stroudley 4 wheelers from Smallbrook Studio and adapted them for LB&SCR days. I sprayed them mahogany, but I didn't even attempt to do lining. I am sure that the Hornby ones will be much better finished than I ever could.

[@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller]

@@richardlee653 that's a fair answer but with a bit of practice anyone can apply a simple paint job and transfers.

[@mattlander9119]

@@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller but most pregrouping liveries are quite complex with multiple coloured lining together. Could say why would you buy anything RTR when there's kits for it..

[@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller]

@@mattlander9119 I was more interested in why make generic coaches where they're all wrong rather than do a range of accurate ones that could then have incorrect liveries applied. Atleast that way the model itself would be correct and it's the choice of the individual if they want a fictional livery application or not.

[@Heruss100]

@@JAMESDEMU-RailwayModeller because each tooling investment for Hornby is about £100k minimum and ideally they'd like to make that money back and some profit. Hattons faces the same problem so both companies have gone for a more generic look from the era to give a correct "feel" as opposed to 100% accurate prototypes.

[@lordluffington2351]

Hattons Genesis coaches

I have pre-ordered some Hattons coaches in SECR livery to match a Terrier. I could do with some coaches that are not quite the same in LB&SCR livery for my LB&SCR Terriers, so I am thinking about the Hornby ones.

Lord Luffington me two I think the Hatton one will be better quality as we get more details plus we get luggage rails and step board fix want is great and if you don't like the step board fix who can remove them easily.

But I order the NCB Blue and if I don't get wow by the Oxford Rail 2021 future announcements.

[@jibbsey]

How'd that turn out for Hatton's eh 😂 that's what happens when you cancel 3yr pre-orders on customers because you don't understand how pre-orders work and don't order enough stock from the manufacturer... 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@lordluffington2351]

@@jibbsey I don’t know about you but I’ve had my genesis coaches for a while now any they are the highest quality, smoothest running most reliable and most importantly best looking coaches I have, oh well that Hattons went under but they did it with their heads held high and producing quality models right until the end. I did buy the hornby equivalent as they were a tad more cost effective but ended sending them back as they ended up looking like toys from the railroad range.
