Hornby OO GWR Horse Box Brown (R6562)

A detailed scale model of the 1930s era design of horse box painted in the Great Western plain chocolate brown livery.
The GWR painted wagon type stock which was suitable for travelling with passenger trains in plain brown livery, making these vehicles easily identifyable and blending nicely with the passenger coach paint scheme 

Horse boxes were widely used to transport horses around the country. Often one horse box would be attached to a branch passenger train as a racehorse began the journey to the races, hopefully returning a week or so later with some well-deserved silver!
