This is the final GWR coach livery as applied from 1943 to nationalization. The Coat of Arms is now flanked by "Great Western", applied in the new style sans serif lettering introduced in 1943.

Double waist lining was applied to principal and/or new coaches from this date onwards, while lesser coaches received just a single line. Rooves were dark grey. Some older stock, such as the clerestories, often continued to carry the wartime all-over brown right through to nationalisation. Rooves were dark grey.

The incredibly detailed coach seen here represents one of Colletts large-windowed 60' Corridor First coaches, built in 1937 to diagram A20. The model was built by ROCAR the model builders, based on Comet parts.
