Hornby: K-Type Pullman First Class Parlour Car ‘Ursula’
Each car is fitted with subtly glowing table lamps and has extensive interior detail making for a set of truly stunning models.
The late 1920s saw a new age of railway coach building, with new building practices and manufacturing techniques replacing the traditional approach of British railway companies. At a time when virtually all the railway companies were running wooden framed rolling stock constructed using traditional techniques, the Pullman Company were pushing ahead with sophisticated construction methods.
The all-steel K-Type design appeared in 1928 and the coaches were precision built unit assemblies, quickly put together, with the interiors being fixed in place without the need for hand fitting, the very essence of what was to be later known as “the synthesis of art and industry”
