A gauge 1, steam-powered model of the South East & Chatham Railway's 0-4-0-engined Steam Rail Motor Coach No.1, made by Carette circa 1913.

The SE&CR Steam Rail Motor Coach was a steam locomotive connected to a carriage, with similar styling extending from the carriage to the driver's compartment. Apart from the bare metal boiler, the rest of the upper structure was brown with yellow lining and panel outlines.
