Hornby TT:120 SR Four-Wheel Third Class Coach ‘1910’ – TT4052
Available now from TMC

Step back in time with the Hornby TT:120 Southern Railway Third Class Four-Wheel Coach, a finely crafted tribute to the golden age of rail travel. Dressed in the authentic SR green livery, this charming '1910'-era coach captures the essence of early 20th-century journeys, complete with spacious Third Class compartments and distinctive roof vents—a subtle nod to the gas or oil lamp lighting once used onboard.

These four-wheeled coaches were a familiar sight across the UK rail network around the turn of the century, especially on rural branch lines where they remained in use long after more modern bogie coaches took over mainline duties. Some soldiered on into the 1950s and ‘60s, finding second lives in maintenance roles—or, after retirement, repurposed by farmers and locals as everything from chicken coops to garden sheds.

Thanks to their enduring design and quaint charm, many of these wooden-bodied relics have been lovingly restored by preservationists and are now running again on heritage railways.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, model railway collector, or simply appreciate fine detail, the TT4052 makes a wonderful addition to any layout.
