The Lynton and Barnstaple Railways coaches were large and well appointed vehicles built by the Bristol Carriage and Wagon company. In consideration of the scenery along the line many coaches had observation saloons, four third class coaches having an unglazed central observation saloon compartment producing a coach characteristic to the L&B.
This model is painted in the original Lynton and Barnstaple Railway livery.

Detailed model of Festiniog Railway open sided 'Bug Box' observation coach number 1 as running during the Colonel Stephens management era finished in plain green livery.
These small 4-wheel coaches are typical of early Victorian era design with the wheels hidden behind the internal seating to maintain a low centre of gravity. Many narrow gauge lines ran through isolated and scenic valleys which were inaccessible to large standard gauge trains, so open sided coaches were popular with Victorian tourists keen to view the scenery and breath in the pure mountain air.
