Wanting some passenger coaches on the small side, these became available and I snatched them up as a job lot - never bothered to look them up in the books I was acquiring. From what I can gather these are Postwar - about 1954/55-ish. The roofs are clean while the bodies show wear-&-tear so they've most likely been repainted. There are two named cars in this 4-pack: 'Aurelia', and 'Marjorie' (of which I have three). There was apparently a 'Viking' available but the resident expert in the Hornby HRCA fb group stated a 'Viking' wasn't made which had these Postwar chassis'. That's okay because this set gives a nice 4-piece consist to lash up to any of the smaller engines. This was one of those times I got lazy and didn't feel like doing a complete photo essay on the cars - oh well! Enjoy! Opa Fritz
