Hornby Maunsell Third Class Dining Saloon 1366 SR

Introduced on the Southern Railway in 1927, Maunsell’s diagram 2652 third class dining saloons were created to give third class passengers access to the kitchen services provided in first class kitchen/dining coaches. Hornby’s Maunsell Third Class Dining Saloon 1366 SR represents this distinctive coach type, finished with the ‘low-window’ Maunsell exterior styling.

Details include ventilators positioned above the windows and doors at each end, gently recessed to keep the grab handles within gauging limits. Inside, the layout was arranged to seat up to 64 diners, with two toilets placed at the end of the coach furthest from the kitchen/dining first coach. From 1930, the six third class restaurant dining saloons were reclassified as open thirds, following the introduction of ‘high-window’ open third saloons for dining duties.
