ML&L or MLo&L British train ID? | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

Saw this one on the Bay listed as Hornby Meccano but the coach is 12 inches long. It looks to be on Hornby trucks, but the stamping underneath indicates ML&L or MLo & L. Very well made but a little long for Hornby I think.

That's the stamp of "Meccano Limited, Liverpool, England." which is pre-war Hornby. I think it's a Pullman coach, given the Royal Crest and what looks like faded lettering on the side. I'm guessing it's around early 1920s.

thank you. Did not realize early Hornby coaches were so long.

It is a Hornby No. 2 Pullman coach made in this version from 1921 till 1925; the Pullman wording seems to be faded.
