The design was also used on first generation Diesel Multiple Units (DMUs) until 1974 and for non-passenger stock such as parcel vans and full brake vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new coaches gradually replaced older designs inherited from the ‘Big Four’ at nationalisation in 1948 and were used on all British Railways regions. The standard underframe length was 63ft 5in (19.33m) with gangwayed bodies 64ft 6in (19.7m), though suburban coaches and parcel vans were shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoaches were either fully open or were corridor coaches with seating compartments. Bodywork was of steel panels on wooden frames, with a separate underframe consisting of heavy steel sections braced with steel trusses, originally mounted on ‘BR1’ bogies, though these were superseded by a new cast-steel design from 1958 known as the ‘Commonwealth’ bogie. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLater examples utilised a Swindon-designed ‘B4’ bogie which gave a much-improved ride and was adopted for use on Southern Region Mk1 Electric Multiple Units (EMUs).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item grid__item--40\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"section section--default\" id=\"whatsInside\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"container\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid grid--2-col\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid__item wysiwyg\"\u003e1x Model Passenger Coach, 1x Accessory Pack\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53843281674579,"sku":"TT4076","price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_TT4076.jpg?v=1780652780","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/hornby-tt4076-br-mk1-composite-corridor-e15712","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
