Etched brass kit with pre-formed brass roof. Kit includes bogies, seats and sprung buffers. Wheels, couplings, paint and transfers needed to complete. Built in 1894 these vehicles were a development of an earlier arc-roofed series. They were designed for use as through portions of main line trains with all classes plus brake in one vehicle. They also worked through services onto other railways, for example Bournemouth to the Midlands. In S.R. days several were end coaches of 9 or 10 coach sets.
