R40359 BR Departmental, 6 Wheel Crew Coach, KDE107E - Era 8

This 6 Wheeled Coach is a representation of the many small coaches which survived into British Railway ownership. Small coaches such as these proved especially adept at branch line work, where their small size enabled the traversing of tight radius curves, the ability to be hauled by smaller engines, and they were more acceptable to lower passenger numbers.

Just as BR was a staple for many railways across Great Britain, the crew are the lifeblood of an organisation. While passengers and luggage are always accommodated, there is also a nice thought in a coach designed additionally for the crew helping the railway run as smoothly as possible.
