The history of coaches (passenger cars) sold by Bassett-Lowke is interesting, in that the majority were actually manufactured by outside contracors, usually well known toy and model makers in their own right. Examples include Bing, Carette and Exley. Coaches were also manufactured by Winteringham Ltd for BL, although Winteringham was the manufacturing arm of BL.
It is probably fair to say that BL coaches fall into two distinct groups. The earlier coaches are more toy like, akin to the Hornby No. 2 series, whereas later coaches are scale models, and, although beautifully made, are beyond the scope of this site. A few are illustrated, for general interest.
