Horseboxes

CHB CR/LMS Horsebox
The Caledonian Railway built 86 horseboxes to diagram 7124 between 1893 and 1904. All the vehicles were built with dual brake, both Westinghouse and Vacuum. Steam heating connections were not provided initially, but were later fitted to all the vehicles.
Withdrawal began in 1923 and 34 of the horseboxes never received LMS numbers.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.
£31.50
TVHB TVR/GWR

They survived into GWR ownership and the last was withdrawn in 1936. They were fitted with the vacuum brake and were gas lit.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.

FHB Furness Railway
In 1871 the Metropolitan Carriage and Wagon Company built 5 of these horseboxes for the Furness Railway, a further 16 were built nine years later in 1880. All were allocated to Diagram 38 in the Furness diagram book. They were only provided with a handbrake and did not have steam heating connections.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.
£31.50
HBHB Hull & Barnsley/LNER
10 vehicles were built in two batches in 1884-85 and available information is sparse. As built they do not appear to have been fitted with brakes. The vehicle is however fitted with Varley’s Patent Electric Communication Gear and Westinghouse through pipe in ex-works condition. As the horse boxes were taken into NER stock, it could be assumed that they did acquire some brakes and probably through a Westinghouse pipe. All were withdrawn in the period between 1924 and1929.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.
£31.50
LYHB L&Y/LMS
The 1901 horse box, diagram 109A, is a relatively modern design with tumblehome curved sides and innovations to make life more comfortable both for horse and groom. A total of 73 vehicles were built.
These vehicles also had dual vacuum and Westinghouse brakes to enable them to work freely on the adjacent NER and Caledonian Railways. After 1923 all of these were absorbed into LMS stock. They were still oil lighted when withdrawn.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.

D438a
LNWR D438 19′ 6″ (Medium) horse box
The LNWR “medium” Horseboxes were built between 1883 and 1889. 150 were originally constructed, 88 of which were still running in 1915, although they were all gone by 1920. The horseboxes were vacuum fitted and ran on 3′ 6″ Maunsell wheels. Coach buffers and screw couplings were fitted. A groom’s compartment was provided, together with fodder storage, etc.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.
£31.50
SWHB LSWR/SR/BR (short) horse box
Between 1887 and 1907 some 350 16′ short horseboxes were built to diag 1000, covered a variety of styles, all generally similar in layout. All ended up with outside beading and most survived into SR stock. After 1934 the Southern removed the beading and sheeted over the sides with the exception of the drop door. 138 vehicles survived nationalisation, the last being scrapped in 1955.The kit is etched on brass with vacuum formed plasticard roof and cast whitemetal fitting.

MHB MR/LMS 20′ Horsebox -D401
The Midland built Bain’s 20 ft horsebox (Diagram 401) in two batches, the first between 1906 and 1914 and the second between 1921 and 1922. The earliest vehicles were oil lit, but it is likely that most were gas lit quite soon into building the second lot.
Electric lighting in later LMS days is probable, as gas lighting was often left on in an empty vehicle, with consequential inconvenience to the next user.The kit is etched in brass with pre-formed brass roof roof and cast brass and whitemetal fittings.
