Hornby R40445 L&MR 1st Class Coach 'Sovereign' - Era 1 Loco - Steam for Model Railway SetsGenre: Role PlayingDescription: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The Liverpool & Manchester Railway opened to much fanfare on 15 September 1830. So much so that a new station had to be built to satisfy passenger numbers and to plan for the ongoing ˜rail fever™ at the time. Liverpool Road Station saw passengers booking tickets and awaiting their train™s arrival. Passengers were separated into first and second class and had different booking halls and waiting rooms.First class passengers enjoyed a non-stop service between Liverpool and Manchester which was quicker than travelling via second class trains. They travelled in ˜glass coaches™ that emulated the typical horse-drawn carriage common to the 19th century. First class passengers also had the opportunity to stop at a first-class station and enjoy food and drink in the refreshment room. The selling of alcohol and food was forbidden for second class passengers.The ˜Sovereign™ first class coach harkens back to a luxury era of travel and evokes a sense of being regal. The model resembles a horse drawn carriage and is complete in an L&MR yellow livery. The accessory bag contains two chain couplings. SAFETY WARNING Detailed scale model.
