Hornby – Open Carriage Pack containing 3x Open Carriages (Stephenson’s Rocket) (R40102) OO Gauge

Disclaimer: This model car is hand-built. Due to the nature of hand-crafted miniatures, minor imperfections are to be expected. These are a normal part of the production process, as manufacturers work within set tolerances, meaning some small defects are considered acceptable. If you receive a model with a significant defect, we are happy to assist and will address the issue accordingly by offering a return or refund. However, please understand that minor imperfections do not qualify as faults but rather reflect the craftsmanship involved in creating these models. Thank you for your understanding and appreciation of these hand-built collectibles.

Having established the concepts of first and second class rail travel, it was only a matter of time before railway companies created a lower fare ‘third class’ for the carriage of the working classes, especially in the densely populated industrial areas. Companies such as the Manchester, Bolton & Bury Railway, the Manchester and Leeds Railway and the Sheffield, Ashton-under-Lyne & Manchester Railway all used open third class carriages, mostly for standing passengers, but sometimes fitted with a rudimentary bench (or benches).

The L&MR considered the possibility of creating a third class as early as 1839, due largely to market pressure from the MB&BR and M&LR, but the directors were afraid that, with its lower fares, it would draw passengers away from the first and second class trains. The introduction of third class travel on the L&MR dates to April 1844, when the Board ordered new enclosed second class coaches to replace the older ‘blue boxes’, which were then downgraded to third class.

The first of the L&MR third class train services ran in October 1844, departing from Manchester at 06:30 and from Liverpool at 18:30.

    Understanding Scale

    The scale of a model is its size as a proportion to the real-life item. For instance, a 1:18 scale model means that every 1 unit of measurement on the model equals 18 units on the real item. If you divide the real item's size by 18, you'd get the size of the 1:18 model. Please note that models can vary slightly in size, as not all real-life items, like cars or planes, have the same dimensions.

    Model Cars:

    • 1:12 scale: ~38 cm or 15 inches
    • 1:18 scale: ~25 cm or 10 inches
    • 1:24 scale: ~18 cm or 7 inches
    • 1:43 scale: ~10 cm or 4 inches
    • 1:64 scale: ~7 cm or 2.75 inches
    • 1:76 scale: ~6 cm or 2.3 inches

    Model Trucks:

    • 1:12 scale: ~75 cm or 29.5 inches
    • 1:18 scale: ~50 cm or 19.7 inches
    • 1:24 scale: ~38 cm or 15 inches
    • 1:43 scale: ~21 cm or 8.3 inches
    • 1:64 scale: ~14 cm or 5.5 inches
    • 1:76 scale: ~12 cm or 4.7 inches

    Model Bikes:

    • 1:6 scale: ~30 cm or 12 inches
