Because of this, BR painted the wooden panels crimson and cream after nationalisation, with all-over crimson for the full brake vehicles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA total of 38 former LNER teak coaches have been preserved, including some that have been restored to a varnished teak finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hornby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55375273492856,"sku":"R40460","price":55.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/9291\/9599\/files\/Screenshot2025-11-28133917.png?v=1764337172","url":"https:\/\/pecorama.myshopify.com\/products\/r40460-br-gresley-corridor-e9126e-composite-brake-coach-1","provider":"The Model Railway Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
