PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Hornby BR 7834 Kitchen and Buttery Car and Composite Restaurant White Horse 1:76 Scale Model Train Coaches Twin Pack features each pair consisted of a Composite Dining Car and a Tavern Coach. These were allocated to the Atlantic Coast Express and provided thirsty commuters with a pub-on-wheels for their homeward journey. Internally, each tavern was decorated to mimic an olde English pub with tiled floor, whitewashed walls, oak beams and high-backed settles, all illuminated by lanterns. Externally, the paintwork was divided horizontally, in carmine and cream, but the lower section lined out to represent brickwork. The upper section had half-timber relief and a painted pub sign, while the small windows had old-style leaded panes. The dining cars were unpopular and were quickly re-fitted in 1950, at which point the mock brickwork on the taverns was repainted in plain carmine. They lasted in service in their pairs until late 1959 but were repainted in unlined BR(SR) green in 1957. Similar pairs of Tavern Cars operated on other BR regions. Specifications: Finish: Painted.
