What Are These Coaches.

I believe they are an attempt at a Caledonian coach. Hornby used the tooling for the coaches that came with the last single wheeler set.

[Lysander]

They were first produced by Triang as Caledonian coaches. The body sides are quite good but the ends, underframes and bogies are pure BR Mk1. Hornby re-released them recently in two guises : Caledonian and LMS. Both had really well applied liveries and were part of boxed sets [Caledonian and Last Single Wheeler]. If you want more, and want them to match, your best bet is eBay - look for Triang coaches. They could be improved, I suppose, but they have no interior fittings and the roof is fitted to the floor by two bolts - visibly - I seem to remember.

The Triang editions were also released in an ersatz GWR livery.

I had some SR green ones some years ago, swapped them for the newer and almost as bad 1980's SR green coaches.
