7 1/4" Gauge Commercial Sit Astride Coach
A new MRW-produced version of our sit-astride coach is now in production. The images shown reflect the previous variant; the new model will follow the same high standards of build quality and workmanship.
7 1/4" Gauge Commercial Articulated Sit Astride Coaches (BODY ONLY)
Our commercial sit-astride coaches have proven themselves across both portable and permanent railways, offering an efficient, reliable and passenger-friendly solution for busy railway operations. The articulated configuration provides excellent stability and smooth running while maximising carrying capacity and keeping maintenance requirements low. These coaches use our lightweight steel chassis system, engineered for strength, long service life and straightforward upkeep. Their low rolling resistance allows locomotives to haul more passengers with less effort — an essential advantage for commercial lines.
Important note about images
The photographs shown on this page depict previous versions of this style of coach manufactured by MRW.
We are currently completing a new in-house MRW production version which:
-
Maintains the same proven dimensions
-
Retains the same carrying capacity
-
Is built to the same high level of fit, finish and durability
-
Includes several improvements to manufacturability and ease of maintenance
The updated design will differ in appearance from the photos shown, but will meet or exceed the build quality of previous versions.
Updated CAD renders and photographs will be uploaded as soon as production of the new version is complete.
