Introduced by many of the pre-Grouping companies before the more comfortable bogie-coaches became common place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs newer coaches were introduced, the four-wheelers were often cascaded down to rural branch lines and where passenger numbers were much lighter. Some survived into the 1950s and ‘60s, by virtue of their relative isolation from the major centres of operation, while others found further use as departmental vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen these small vehicles were retired, often their bodies were bought up by local people for use as summer homes, but especially by farmers who found they made good chicken coops or storage sheds. The chassis from the coaches often found further use as goods wagons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause so many of these wooden bodies found their way into private hands, a good number have survived to be saved by preservationists, who have refurbished them and mounted them onto suitable underframes for use on heritage trains.\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\u003ch2 class=\"heading--3\"\u003eWhat's Inside\u003c\/h2\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":53843464946003,"sku":"TT4083","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1028\/2985\/0963\/files\/Harburn_TT4083.jpg?v=1780650537","url":"https:\/\/www.harburnhobbies.co.uk\/products\/hornby-tt4083-iow-4-wheel-3rd-class-coach-10","provider":"Harburn Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
