GWR Centenary brake coaches

[Mick38]

Hornby produce a RH centenary brake composite. Now that “handing” is being taken seriously, a LH version would be nice. Also a centenary brake third, in both hands naturally.

 A LH version would be good and also a resturant car. It would also be good if they resurected the old Airfix chassis for the brakes with both batery boxes at one end,

As it stands I think I have more of the RH centenaries than ever existed! THankfully they do not run together as they are in different liveries

[Anything Western]

How about the centenary coach range should be increased from 2 coaches to 5 or 6 coaches in three main liveries

I am somewhat surprised. The Centenary Stock was a comparatively small group of vehicles, and barely make two complete trains. Surely some more common types would be more appropriate for new construction? 

For the record Centenary stock consisted of -

 

C69 Gangwayed Third, 6 vehicles, Nos. 4581 to 4586

 

D120 Gangwayed Brake Third, 6 vehicles, Nos. 4575 to 4580 (4577/80 left hand, 4575/6/8/9 right hand)

 

E149 Gangwayed Composite, 4 vehicles, Nos. 6658 to 6661

 

E150 Gangwayed Brake Composite, 6 vehicles, Nos. 6650 to 6655

 

H43 Gangwayed First Diner 2 Vehicles, Nos. 9635 & 9636

 

H44 Ganwayed Third Diner 2 vehicles, Nos. 9637 & 9638

 

Standard formation was -

 

Brake 3rd, 3rd, 3rd, Diner 3rd, Kitchen Diner 1st, Composite, Brake 3rd, 3rd, Brake Composite, Brake Composite.

 

Two trains in use daily ( one up, one down) plus spares. Used on "Cornish Riviera Limited / Express" from 1935, but  after WW2 demoted to Weston super Mare service and miscellaneous duties.
