The LNER built two beaver tail observation cars for its Coronation service that operated between London and Edinburgh on the East Coast Main Line.
Both have survived, finding further use in converted form in Scotland, though Car 1729 has been painstakingly restored to its original profile with a streamlined tail that mirrored the shape of the A4 Class Pacific on the front of the train.
Passengers paid an additional fee to enjoy the comforts of the observation car in which refreshments were served by the steward at passengers individual armchairs. The beaver tail was only added to the train during summer months.
This OO gauge coach model is a highly detailed replica of that classic 'Coronation' Observation Car, as seen in the One:One Collection in Margate.
Scale 1:76, OO gauge
