In the mid to late 1800s, the many operating companies in the UK were producing their own 4 and 6 wheel coaching stock, which introduced many features onto the railways - lighting, continuous braking and even upholstered seats for all passengers. This led to them being a very common sight. Many designs consisted of only a handful of coaches, built to fill a specific need, and often only wore the livery of the specific railway they were built for. A good number were absorbed at the 1923 grouping and some found new leases of life on branches that were in need of simple stock to run on them. Some were even taken into departmental stock or used by sheds and depots as simple stores vans and used until the 1950s.
Project Genesis faithfully represents the trains of the Era 2 & 3 period and brings modellers the opportunity to run a detailed train of coaches in liveries not normally seen in ready-to-run form. The range includes 7 body styles between the 4 and 6 wheel coaches. The individual styling has been made to include the most common features from some of the most widespread and longest lasting coaches to help make them recognisable to customers.
