TVR/GWR Horse Box

In 1910 these 21ft horseboxes were built for the Taff Vale Railway by Bristol Carriage and Wagon Company. They survived into GWR ownership and the last was withdrawn in 1936. They were fitted with the vacuum brake and were gas lit.

The horseboxes were originally fitted with 3ft 6in Mansell disc wheels, although later plain disc wheels of the same diameter may have been fitted.

The kit consists of an etched brass body and rigid chassis with whitemetal detailing parts and sprung buffers. A pre-formed brass roof is supplied.

Wheels and couplings are needed to complete the kit.
