List of Coronation Scot models

Models, kits and modelling resources for the LMS Coronation Scot train.

This is not a definitive listing.

Models, kits, and modeling resources

Bassett-Lowke

• Produced a classic Gauge 0 tinplate model of Coronation 6220, in 1937.
• Loco and carriages sold separately
• Also credited with designing the smaller 00-gauge "US Tour" version for Trix.

Fox Transfers

• Fox produce a range of Coronation Scot stripes and lettering for those wanting to build their own locos and carriages, or to convert existing rolling stock. Available for most common scales, large and small. Not cheap, but much easier than trying to paint tiny crests on carriages yourself.

Marx

• Marx Set 245 (circa 1940?) was a tin plate train set with two concentric oval tracks and two rather stylised toy trains, consisting of two very crude bullet-shaped 0-4-0 locos and four rather quaint blue carriages.

Hornby

• Blue: Hornby produced various versions of the Coronation-Class-streamliners over the years, and various versions of the carriages. They also currently sell a boxed Coronation Scot set, with three coaches. A limited range of coaches.

• Red: Hornby also produced a dedicated red "1939 US Tour" Coronation Scot set. The photos that we've seen don't seem to show the 1939 train's "valances" or "skirts" under the coaches.

• Hornby have also produced a large number of other Coronation-Class streamliner loco models, including a few finished in wartime black.

Langney Models

• Langney Models sell an unpainted N-gauge 1/148 -scale bodyshell kit (ref B14), that's designed to fit over the stripped chassis of a Minitrix Brittannia N-gauge loco.

Masterpiece Models

• Masterpiece Models recently produced a very limited (and suitably expensive) set of large engineered models.

Micromodels

• Miniature cut-out-and-make card model of a blue Coronation-Class loco, as part of Set MII (M2)
• Miniature matching blue Coronation Scot coach, as part of Set X (passenger coaches)

Trix

• Trix came to the Coronation Scot a little late, and went straight for a presentation-boxed red "US tour" Coronation Scot in 1939, with headlight, as part of their "Trix Twin Railway" range. They also sold the coaches separately.

• Due to the unfortunate timing, Trix never went back and produced a "normal" Coronation-class streamliner in either red or blue, or produced blue versions of their coaches (although we'll be showing a modified Trix loco that shows what their locomotive model would have looked like).

Worsley Works

• Worsley Works produce a range of etched "brass sheet" kits that can be used to construct partial carriages (which normally then need to be painted and fitted with a roof and bogeys).

They do a complete set of kits for all nine Coronation Scot coaches, and thanks to modern CAD software, can produce the designs in brass in just about any size down to N gauge. The designs include physical surface detailing, but not paintwork details (such as stripes or lettering).

Omissions

At the time of writing we're still tracking down further versions to be added to the list.
